Flat maiden for Sir Michael Stoute but a much better hurdler already; did well to win on debut at Listowel against a more experienced rival (awarded race) and was impressive when running away with a Punchestown event since; should take beating.

Record of 0-4 on the Flat for Sir Michael Stoute; now 5-5 over hurdles and saw off the classy Nurburgring on the first of those wins (receiving 13lb); landed a pair of winnable Listed events in Britain but missed the spring festivals; this is much deeper on her return so she has questions to answer.

Showed some promise on sole Flat run at the Curragh; sent straight over hurdles and won a Killarney maiden in July despite showing signs of inexperience; there are mixed messages from the form and this is his first run since but he should be closely involved.

Killarney maiden hurdle winner in July 2023; rated 127 in that sphere; mixed bag since and has finished well-beaten on both chase starts, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and 23.5f at Killarney on latest; surely capable of better and the drop back in trip here should suit; gets weight from his rivals and has a chance if on a going day.
