Beat Millforce in a point last year; odds-on for all three hurdle wins; not a bad effort when upped in trip and class in a Grade 1 novice at Punchestown when last seen, finishing fourth (3m, yielding); he looks a big player on chasing debut.

Bumper and hurdles winner has been disappointing overall over fences and in one hurdle run this year, except for when second of six over fences at Tramore (2m, good) on penultimate; others are more appealing.

Useful hurdler with placed form in Listed and Graded company as a novice; much improved on fourth chase start at Tramore when close second, around 2l in front of Pampar Lady in race in which Future Prospect departed two out; not sure to appreciate this extra half-mile.
