EASYFIX Equine Handicap Hurdle

Hurdle/chase winner for the Moores in Britain with a peak hurdle rating of 130; some promise in three runs for this yard, notably on latest when fourth of 11 at Navan (2m6f, heavy), staying on from rear to challenge two out, fading late on; player dropped 1lb under top claimer.

Runner-up in two point-to-points; fine second in Gowran maiden hurdle (2m, heavy); disappointing over 2m3f at Naas but it's a race that has worked out very well; well beaten fourth upped to 2m7f at Punchestown; likely capable of a big run on handicap debut.

Creditable third in Gowran maiden last March (2m, soft); didn't progress on next three starts; kept on late to take third in Punchestown maiden last month (2m3f, soft to heavy); player up in trip on handicap debut.

Hinted at ability in maidens and best run yet came on handicap debut at this course two weeks ago when fourth of 17 (16.5f, soft to heavy), doing best work at the finish; step up in trip will be a help from unchanged mark.

Won three times for Gavin Cromwell; signed off last season with second in 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft to heavy); only moderate efforts first two tries for this yard, 13l behind Lough Nigara at Punchestown on latest.
