Irish point win (3m, soft) in April before £40,000 sale; 6-1 when third of 15 in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) nearly four weeks ago, left behind by the first two finishers from two out; that's among the best hurdles form in this field and he should build on it. |

His two Irish point runs in 2021 do not look much of a recommendation; beaten 28l when next seen in eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft; 18-1) recently, so he needs a transformation. |
