Landed a Grade 3 in 2015 and the clear pick judged on official ratings. However, last month's return to action did not suggest an imminent return to winning ways.
Built for chasing but progressing nicely over hurdles for now and got the better of a battle to score over this trip last time. Finished well clear of rivals rated 113 ad 118 that day so official mark looks generous.
Tailed off on last four starts over fences/hurdles and needs to be transformed by blinkers to have any say.
Lost a race at Tramore after a prohibitive substance was discovered in a blood sample. To make matters worse he has been racing off a substantially higher mark and his subsequent efforts make him hard to fancy on these terms
Dual winner over fences but 1-31 over hurdles. No disgrace in going down to a well-backed rival at Gowran Park and something was clearly amiss last time.
Ultimately beat little at Killarney last week but could hardly have been more impressive. Clearly staying is her forte, but she still has a lot to find with High Nellie judged on their clash at Wexford in September.
Improved for the step up to 3m last time and, in receipt of allowances, has every chance of following up given his current rate of progress, a willing attitude and cheekpieces to overcome his greenness.
Forecasts
High Nellie (2/1), Ravenhill (3/1), Glocca Mora (9/2), Moylisha Tim (8/1), Jazz Mine (8/1), Midnight Escape (10/1), Glendine River (14/1)
High Nellie would be a threat to all if rebounding from a poor run last time when she was noted to be blowing hard in a post-race examination. However, she is still hard to win with and the progressive RAVENHILL stands in her way. Gordon Elliott's embryonic chaser has won his last two starts showing a good technique and plenty of spirit. His latest victory looked worthy of a higher mark than that allotted by the assessor and he is taken to come out on top at the expense of Glocca Mora who landed his maiden over this trip and has the scope to improve further
