Form & Verdict

Four wins in Britain, best on AW; reached a peak rating of 85 after two Kempton wins last year; not at his best in recent months; however, he is race-fit and the bar is set low for his hurdles debut; interesting.

Form & Verdict

Beaten favourite but not a bad run in first bumper at Galway last October, beaten 9l in fifth; not as good next time at Tramore; unfancied when a moderate sixth on hurdles debut at Roscommon; still looked raw when second at this venue last month; capable of picking up a modest race.
