Searcog (F)
Modest Flat winner has proved consistent over hurdles, faring best of those ridden close up when sixth in 19-runnner Leopardstown maiden in December. May do better for switch to handicaps.

No improvement on handicap debut when 17½ lengths fourth of 7 to Sopelana in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 40/1) 26 days ago. Marked improvement needed to reverse that form.
