10/11

Yet to win on the Flat or over hurdles but shaped with promise when placed on all 4 starts over timber, latest when very good second of 12 in juvenile at Thurles (2m, heavy) 49 days ago. Further improvement could be forthcoming.

6/4

Came good in an academy hurdle at Leopardstown (2m2f) over Christmas and has shown better form in defeat twice since. His mark demands improvement but drying conditions will likely suit. Shortlisted.
