Formerly with Gordon Elliott, for whom he won 3m2f Sligo handicap hurdle last summer; back from long absence when soon beaten on chase debut at Kilbeggan in May and absent again since; debuts for new yard.

11st 12lb

J: Paddy Cleary

T: Gordon Elliott

Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more.

Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all at Ballinrobe (3m2f, good); had to settle for fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) a week ago but still features prominently in calculations.

Added a second hurdles win at Ballinrobe three weeks ago (3m2f, good) on his second start for new yard; up 5lb for that but should continue to give a good account of himself.

Has held form well since scoring off 14lb lower over 2m6f here in April; narrow defeats off revised mark at Cork (24.5f) and Listowel (23.5f) before beaten 2l in first-time blinkers (now discarded) at Killarney (20.5f); this shorter trip raises questions.

Promise in his first two maiden hurdle runs but was poor at Fairyhouse last time; still one to consider on handicap debut and the market could clarify matters as one of three for his yard.

Point-to-point and 2m6f Killarney maiden hurdle winner; runner-up in first two chases in May at around 2m4f, and returning from a break when below best in finishing third in 3m Killarney beginners' last month on ground probably on the quick side; softer ground here should suit and definite claims.
