Form & Verdict

One of two runners for yard; point-to-point winner is 1-8 over hurdles; that win came over C&D in a maiden back in 2021; seemed to be a lost cause before bouncing back with a solid effort in a claiming hurdle at Roscommon last month; remains to be seen if he can back that up and needs more to win this.

Was gaining his second win at Ballinrobe when narrowly landing 2m7f handicap under top weight 18 days ago under a positive ride (first two clear); 6lb rise but still on a decent mark (10lb below career-high) so respected although this marked drop in trip a concern.
