Commentary

Won Munster National at Limerick (3m) last season. Respectable efforts over hurdles last 2 starts, including on return from 9-months off last time. Reverts to chasing from a mark, though will need both a clear round of jumping and be at his very best to better last year's third in this race.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
