Form & Verdict

Won off 6lb lower at Ballinrobe on stable debut in May; beaten off revised rating on last start in this sphere at Galway and just an okay run on the Flat at Killarney on latest; needs more off this mark.

11st 4lb

J: Miss Georgie Benson

T: Peter John Flood

Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway.

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.

Finally got off the mark in Wexford handicap (2m4f) in August, appreciating good ground; headed close home at Sligo (20.5f) off 3lb higher; another solid display when runner-up in 21.5f Downpatrick novice rated hurdle latest; contender.

Finally got off the mark in Wexford handicap (2m4f) last month, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite; wellbeing confirmed when headed close home at Sligo (20.5f) off 3lb higher mark; major player if ground remains in his favour; stable in form.

Had run well several times in defeat before finally off the mark 11 days ago in 2m4f Wexford handicap, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite (pair clear); 5lb rise looks quite lenient, so major player if ground remains in his favour.

Won a very weak race at Kelso in May, beating the only other finisher; pulled up over fences at Wexford next time before runner-up in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle in August; won well at the same venue 13 days ago, despite his rider losing his irons on the run-in; improving sort.

Won a non-event over hurdles by a street at Kelso in May, beating only other rival to stand up; back over hurdles following a less than fluent chasing bow at Wexford last time; others more appealing.

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.
