Form & Verdict

Went close over hurdles here in May so he'll handle the track and it was only his third run over fences when doing it quite decisively in a Kilbeggan handicap a month ago (2m4f, good to yielding); has to deal with an 8lb rise but he's not had much racing.

Poor form in three runs over regulation fences, the latest here two years ago; however, she's won three points and as many hurdles so can jump, and is potentially thrown in off 86 given her hurdle mark of 128; has to be of interest for new yard.
