Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; 9lb rise okay on the face of it, but not sure if he'll back that up and 3lb out of handicap here.

0-27 and his run at Sligo last time was the first time he has ever placed when taking a 3l third (2m5f, good); 1lb rise seems a bit harsh; needs more.

Form & Verdict
Two wins in 2022; ran only three times last year; long absence is a drawback; however, worth noting his trainer has his point-to-point team in fine shape for the recent opening of the point-to-point season.

Won a couple of hurdles at four; second three times in a row in handicaps between this trip and 2m4f in April/May and okay runs over fences since; cheekpieces swapped for visor.

Both hurdle wins came on easier ground but has been running well in defeat on good ground this year; having just third run over fences when third of 4 finishers in 2m5f Cartmel novices' handicap last month, only weakening late on; back in trip here and not one to rule out.

Fell and tailed off in his two previous chases in late 2023; lightly raced in the meantime but returns to this discipline after three solid runs over hurdles, all handicaps from 2m1f to 2m4f; likely to go well again if he still fancies fences.

Ordinary maiden hurdle form after a satisfactory first run at Roscommon 12 months ago; never counted at any stage over a shorter trip at this venue on stable/handicap debut.

Encouraging debut in maiden hurdle at Roscommon but shown very little in four runs since; new yard; career best required on handicap bow.

Signed off for previous yard with a 5l fourth on handicap debut at Limerick last October; well below that level in four starts for this stable; remote sixth at Bellewstown on latest with tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time.
