Commentary

Half-brother to stable's useful hurdler Shoot First. Well backed when placing in solid bumpers at Navan/Punchestown last season, showing bags of ability amid keenness. May well benefit from the addition of a first-time hood, and he's a serious player if translating his bumper form to hurdles.

What the class read says

Dropping in class from recent starts. Whether that's a positive depends on intent — worth checking the yard's record placing horses down in grade.
