Commentary

Notably progressive in 3 juvenile hurdles last season, finishing second in a Grade 1 at Punchestown in April. Well backed but shaped as if better for the run back on the level at Gowran at the beginning of the month and that should put him spot on for this. Sets a clear standard.

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. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

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