Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now.

Debut point winner got off the mark over hurdles when successful over C&D (good) in July off 78; unable to go in again off revised mark in two subsequent starts here and at Downpatrick; creditable efforts over fences when last seen in October.
AI verdict

SR 79 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out.
