★★ Timeform

Commentary

Fairly useful over hurdles and has translated that level to chasing but looks one to avoid for win purposes as his weak-finishing tendencies seem ingrained now whatever the trip, again emptying in alarming fashion at Kilbeggan (3¼m) on most recent outing. 3 lb out of the weights.

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