Form & Verdict

160,000euros yearling; two runs in these silks for two different trainers; highly encouraging close third (favourite) in a 1m2f Doncaster maiden last March that's worked out exceptionally well and he then won easily at Dundalk in December (1m4f; odds-on; had been gelded) at the expense of a Listed-placed rival; unexposed and with Group-race potential, he's a massive player.

Form & Verdict

Made a promising start for Noel Meade, winning a 9.5f maiden before finishing second in 1m4f handicap (both on turf); joined Dan Skelton to go hurdling (withdrawn ahead of intended debut last month) but with his Flat experience and low mileage, he can't be dismissed.

This jumps season is going well, with three wins (at about 2m) already but he was down the field in a Musselburgh handicap on latest start and there are a few in here who would comfortably have his measure over hurdles.
