Form

120/3114P1/2148-138

Lightly-raced but talented sort who had almost two years off the track between April 2016 and February, 2018.

Up For Review was successful in two of five starts over fences last season, in novice contests at Gowran Park and Killarney.

He also finished fourth behind stablemate and subsequent Cheltenham gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo in the Grade 1 Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse last Easter.

Returned this season with a promising third in the Thyestes Handicap Chase over 3m 1f at Gowran Park in January.

Again shaped well prior to a shuddering mistake three out when eighth in the 3m 1f Grade 3 Ultima Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen in action.

Has a shout on the pick of his for,m but needs to brush-up his jumping. If he can, then he could outrun his odds – especially based on his run behind Al Boum Photo at the highest level.
