Form & Verdict
Has hit top form recently; followed up an easy win in a weak Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) with success in a Sligo novice contest (2m2f, good); his rating of 120 over hurdles is the best on offer here but he must transfer it to fences on this chasing bow.

Hit form over the summer, winning a Downpatrick maiden hurdle, Sligo novice before making a winning chase bow in a Tramore novice; took a backwards step when poor in a Flat handicap; 9l fifth in 2m5f hurdle at Downpatrick on Friday.

Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing course maiden (2m2f) in July and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; tailed off on the Flat at Killarney on latest; first try at this trip but could go well.

Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; needs to prove as effective on the Flat but didn't run badly in 1m3f maiden in April on ground softer than ideal; could be on a decent mark.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences.

Two wins over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell; 0-7 over fences and has a tendency to jump left at times; ground conditions will suit but soundly beaten over hurdles on latest and others make more appeal.
