Commentary

One-time very smart Flat performer who was hard done by when demoted from first in Galway Hurdle last season. Back somewhere near that form when sixth in same race this season but his overall profile is off-putting.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

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