Outpaced in Thurles bumper on debut before relishing step up in trip to score at Limerick in April; made it 2-3 in bumpers to win a Tipperary bumper by half a length in May, making all the running back down in trip; nice pedigree (dam sister to Yorkhill) and looks a top prospect on hurdle bow here; off 199 days.

The winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle; this is a big ask for a maiden over fences (0-4) but his seconds read well (pushed Spread Boss Ted close in one of those) and he looked in need of further than 2m4f when behind that rival and Funiculi Funicula on his handicap debut at Punchestown; could deliver the career best this race demands.

Solid record in bumpers but has dismal form figures since switched to hurdles; however, drops to weaker level on return from a break and may improve.

Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim.
