Commentary

Flat-bred 7-y-o. Useful handicapper up to 2½m over hurdles. Hasn't come close to matching that form in 3 starts over fences, though again showed some aptitude for chasing when well-held fourth at Roscommon (17f). Will need to be on his game to see off a couple of less-exposed ones here.
