Commentary

Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick last spring. Sets the standard on those performances but hasn't kicked on or come close to reproducing those efforts since either in this sphere or over fences.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 1 higher-class runs.

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