Form & Verdict
A fair 1m5f Irish winner for Eddie O'Grady but he failed to hit top form in a handful of starts over hurdles/fences for Gordon Elliott this winter; starts out for another good yard here and can't be discounted, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Eight AW wins, including at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Newcastle (1m4f) under Conor Whiteley on her last two outings; has to prove her effectiveness on turf (well held in three attempts much earlier in career) but has to be respected in her current mood.

Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip.
