Inconsistent performer who finished second in a handicap hurdle at Cork (100/1) 175 days ago but ran poorly when 15th of 16 in a handicap hurdle at Listowel (50/1) 103 days ago. Switch back to flat racing could spark revival.

Forecasts

Dark Note (10/3), No Big Deal (18/5), Migdam (4/1), Tassarolo (5/1), Spanish John (11/2), Make Good (8/1), Ehteyat (9/1), Black Soul (10/1), You Done Well (11/1), Dream Escape (28/1), Cafe Con Leche (33/1), Talking Tough (66/1)

Verdict

MIGDAM has done well over hurdles for his new yard and is potentially on a good mark back in this sphere if seeing out the longer trip. Ehteyat is finding form and looks ready to strike from his reduced mark, while Black Soul has solid form in big-field handicaps.
