Hails from a family his yard have had success with and he made a promising reappearance/hurdle debut when clear second to a promising one in maiden at Ayr. Not so good at Navan just 18 days on but remains with potential.

Improved again when edged out on the line in 23f Thurles handicap last month. Looks a thorough stayer and sets the standard back in maiden company.

Bumper winner but has lost his way over jumps. Only of interest if the subject of market support upped in trip starting out with new trainer.

Got back on track despite an erratic round of jumping upped to 3m when second in Limerick maiden last time. That is a platform to build on. Cheekpieces now tried.

Forecasts

Oaks Soldier (13/8), Jackmoon (9/2), Belladona Princess (9/2), Tom Mac (6/1), Nopresentliketime (7/1), Strange Currency (15/2), Fenian Maxios (16/1), Walk Away Harry (33/1), Friends Of Barry (80/1), Brightmarchmorning (125/1), Three County Star (150/1), Bruise Hill (300/1), Mr Babes (300/1)

Verdict

OAKS SOLDIER relished the longer trip when just failing at Thurles and is worth backing to gain compensation. Belladona Princess might be the danger after her good second at Limerick when also stepping up in distance.
