Form & Verdict

Won a bumper in fine style at this meeting last year for Andy Slattery; disappointed in a Leopardstown bumper on debut for this yard in December; much more like it when winning on hurdling debut at Listowel (16.5f, good) latest and the third from that race has won since; big player.

Form & Verdict

Flat winner; 0-4 over hurdles and rated 103; 1.25l second in Market Rasen maiden hurdle 23 days ago (20.5f, good); cheekpieces go on but surely out of depth in this company; due to run 5.40 here on Monday.
