Form & Verdict

Failed to place in six Flat starts; no wins from seven over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second at Limerick over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap when last seen; thereabouts at his best.

Form & Verdict

22,000gns 3yo; has run in two academy hurdles; well supported on debut at Fairyhouse, failed to find any extra after pecking on landing over the second last and weakening into third; could manage only third behind stablemate Lynches Knock when favourite for a 2m2f Leopardstown contest; tongue tie may get more from him and Kennedy keeps the faith.

Form & Verdict

Flat winner is rated 75 in that sphere following a host of runner-up finishes for Joseph O'Brien; well beaten on hurdling/stable debut at Thurles (2m, heavy), but improved effort at Hereford when a 6l runner-up, getting tired late on (2m, heavy); that's something to build on.
