Placed in a point-to-point and in all three starts under Rules; turned over at short odds in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, soft) on New Year's Day but sets the standard here and should be hard to beat in this modest contest.

Placed form in maiden hurdles before winning a weak Thurles contest in March (2m1f, soft to heavy) under positive tactics; in contrast to his win, was ridden cold for Fairyhouse handicap debut (2m, yielding) but never near to challenge despite keeping on well for seventh; worth another chance off the same mark.

It wasn't a strong maiden he won at Thurles (soft/heavy; beat two outsiders) but he did that very easily under positive tactics and he's clearly unexposed ahead of this first handicap; his yard has won the last two renewals.

Placed in a point-to-point and in all four starts on the track; turned over at short odds in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, soft) on New Year's Day, and even shorter when trounced by the front-running Tip Of The Wings at Limerick; jumping was sloppy then; some reservations but holds obvious chance.

Form & Verdict
33-1 and finished a modest third on debut in a Gowran bumper (2m, sft-hvy) in January 2025; off the track since and likely best watched on hurdles bow.

Modest form on testing ground in bumpers and hurdles; much better effort on latest when backed at big odds in a 2m4f Sligo maiden hurdle, his first run on good ground; place chance again stepped up in trip.

All four starts on testing ground and yet to get closer than 17l to the winner; beaten 48l when fourth at Limerick latest; rating of 94 possibly flatters him; better ground needs to spark major improvement.

Modest third in Gowran bumper (2m, soft to heavy) in January 2025; tailed off here after absence on hurdles debut in Februray; likely to fall well short.
