Commentary

Point winner prior to going 2-2 in bumpers. After 7 months off, left hurdling debut effort behind when winning a Roscommon maiden (2m) in August, though was tailed off in minor event at Down Royal (3m) later the same month. Worth another chance with cheekpieces added.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 2 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
