Commentary

Made a promising start in bumpers and has shown ability on all 3 starts over hurdles, most recently in a first-time hood when fourth of 14 in maiden at Kilbeggan (2m, good) just under 3 weeks ago (not given at all a hard time). Open to further improvement.

What the class read says

Dropping in class from recent starts. Whether that's a positive depends on intent — worth checking the yard's record placing horses down in grade.

Dropping 7 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
