Commentary

Fair on Flat in Ireland, he opened his account at the fourth attempt over hurdles for Dan Skelton in 11-runner novice hurdle at this course (2m, good) 33 days ago, quickening clear. The handicapper hasn't taken any chances with his mark but he must be taken seriously here.

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.
