Form & Verdict

Has run well in defeat at times in maiden hurdles but struggled badly in first two handicaps at 2m7f-3m; big drop in trip here on first start for new yard; watch.

Creditable third in Gowran maiden last March (2m, soft); didn't progress on next three starts; kept on late to take third in Punchestown maiden last month (2m3f, soft to heavy); player up in trip on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Much improved on handicap debut when close second at Galway (2m, yielding) in October, never near to challenge on comeback at Naas last month; bit to find on ratings but entitled to come on for that run.

Some good placed efforts in maidens on good ground; beaten just 0.5l on handicap debut at Galway in October (2m1f, yielding); never near to challenge on comeback at Naas in January (2m3f, yielding); solid fourth back in maiden company at Punchestown last time (2m3f, soft to heavy); form suggests a preference for better ground.

Fine efforts in maidens at Tramore and Wexford in August at 2m-2m1f (good); both runs on softer than good, including on latest, well below that level so underfoot conditions a worry for this handicap debutant.

Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner ran a fine race on second hurdling start when second in 2m Clonmel maiden in December (heavy); still in contention when faller two out at Limerick later in month but not at same level in 2m4f Thurles contest last month, running a bit in snatches though finishing his race out; more needed but possible given he handles heavy.

Ability in point-to-points but yet to replicate that under Rules; heavy defeats at big odds in all four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; could improve for the switch to a handicap but can only watch for now.
