Has left modest Flat form behind with runner-up finishes in three starts over hurdles; beaten only a neck at Killarney in July; the margin was over 5l at Ballinrobe, and he was trounced at Killarney 11 days ago; however, still has good prospects of exploiting his modest Flat mark.

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time.

J: Reese Holohan

T: John J Nallen

Off the mark on hurdling debut at Limerick last month and followed up with a first Flat win at Galway (9.5f, yielding), showing a willing attitude to score by a neck; 4lb rise more than negated by rider's 7lb claim but has to prove stamina for this longer trip (bred to stay but well beaten both previous starts at 1m2f-1m4f).

Dual bumper winner in 2024; two runs last year were solid and beaten 16l at Roscommon (2m, yielding) 18 days ago after ten months off; entitled to come on for that but others still open to more progress.

8/1
