Won a weak maiden hurdle at Naas (19.5f) for Stuart Crawford last December. Better effort in 17f course handicaps for new yard this season when fourth of 8 latterly, making his effort too soon.

Shadow Chaser (G)
Modest form at best over hurdles for Stuart Coltherd last season but gambled on and shaped a lot better for new yard when second of 14 in 19.5f Ayr handicap on reappearance 32 days ago. Considered.

Always A Reason (G)
Improved to land a 20.5f Southwell handicap 12 days ago. Only nudged up 3 lb for that and his low-mileage profile suggests there may be more to come.

Left his 3 qualifying runs behind when making a successful handicap debut over C&D (soft) last month. Runner-up back here since and likely to be in the thick of things again.
