Charleville Cheese 3-Y-O Hurdle

73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens; made immediate impact upon switch to hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month; disappointing at Down Royal last month when well beaten by rival he had defeated in his maiden victory, albeit he needed to carry a penalty (as he does here); needs to bounce back.

Didn't set the world alight in three Flat starts but took to hurdling immediately when keeping on well for victory in a Killarney maiden hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); needs to carry a penalty but if he can repeat the run of his hurdle success he should be thereabouts.

Makes hurdling debut after six unplaced runs on the Flat, leaving him with a rating of 66 in that sphere; some okay runs in defeat all the same, but hurdling needs to bring improvement.

Some positive efforts in his ten Flat runs; went close in a Curragh nursery last September off 72; returned from a break with a 2.5l third at Limerick in July when hampered by a faller and catching the attention of the stewards; below that level at Galway later that month; makes stable debut and an interesting contender.

Has failed to land a blow in seven starts under both codes; hard to see him winning.
