Expert View:
Travelled, ran to form just out-battled late, from a break beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 2m, gets 2 1/2m acts on soft but suited by good; in fair form, sharp tracks probably best given flat speed.
Star rating: 4
Form Snapshot: Winner of five hurdle races at 2m on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 1l by Wild Goose when second of 8 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Southwell over 2m (good) last month.
Aidan O'Brien (10 May 2022): "He is going to run in the Dante at York this week. We think he has come forward nicely from his run in the Ballysax Stakes and are looking forward to seeing how he measures up."
Aidan O'Brien (28 March 2022): "He’s one that we have in mind for the Derby Trial at Leopardstown in May. He’s a very straightforward horse, he was just green when he ran in the Zetland. He has a lazy way of going and we haven’t seen the best of him on the track yet."
