Hurdling debutant is fit from the Flat; 1-15 in that sphere (best RPR 73), the win coming on the AW at Dundalk; dam is related to winners over timber so should make a hurdler; worth a market check. |

Decent strike-rate and followed up Sligo claimer win with fine handicap third in higher grade at the Curragh; rider is only starting off but was good in pony racing and is bred for the job.
