Form & Verdict

Attracted market support on debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran (16.5f, soft) in October and ran a blinder to finish a 1.5l second of 19; disappointed the following month in Navan bumper; hard to know what to expect now.

Green when a modest fourth on debut at Wexford in July and filled the same position when beaten 11l at Leopardstown in December; has ability but needs to improve further to get off the mark here.

Made a pleasing debut in a Listowel bumper (2m, gd-yld) in September, beaten 4.5l into fourth of 18; that form has worked out nicely and if he handles this softer ground he could go well.
