Form & Verdict

Wide-margin winner of a maiden point at Tallow in February 2019; changed hands for £200,000 later that month; off for two years before second to a 50-1 shot in a Thurles bumper last March; looks clearly superior to these rivals on the basis of placed runs at Punchestown and Navan this season.

Low-rated handicapper on Flat; first maiden hurdle outing at Naas better than second attempt at Punchestown; more likely as handicap prospect after this.

Poor Flat handicapper but far from disgraced on his hurdles debut at Naas earlier this month; has a fair bit to find but worth watching for signs of further progress.

Won off basement rating over 1m at Bellewstown last year; inconsistent this term; fair third at Thurles on penultimate start, disappointing 5-1 chance at the Curragh last time; first time over hurdles now.

Form & Verdict

Hinted at ability when eighth in a 22-runner bumper at Punchestown last April; good enough to justify favouritism in a summer bumper on good ground at Hexham in June; needs to improve from hurdling debut at Cork.
