Returning from nearly a year off the track, he was hampered at Galway last time and was left with far too much to make up — it counts as an unlucky effort and a fresh opportunity over fences is warranted. Acts on good ground; first-time tongue-tie applied.

Fell out of contention at Tramore last month after going too hard in front — a significant reversal that requires explanation before trust can be restored. His pointing background hints at untapped ability over fences; first-time hood and tongue-tie applied, and he handles cut in the ground.

First win at Downpatrick 16 days ago, clear by 5 lengths, and there may be more to come now he is off the mark. Consistent over both disciplines, effective at 2m to 2½m; the trainer is quiet at present but the horse arrives in good form.

Failed to complete at a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm latest and improvement is required for his first run under Rules. Effective over 2m3f to 3m with first-time cheekpieces; he is the lowest-rated runner here on our assessment and needs to show considerably more.

Ranked 14th on our figures, he was well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown 23 days ago after what was essentially an introductory run. Switching to fences with first-time blinkers, effective over 2m6f to 3m; a significant step forward is required here.
