Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory.
