Modest form in maidens last term but confirmed promise of a big run on return when winning over 1m at Gowran in May and bounced back from some lesser efforts when runner-up (promoted from third) over C&D last month; form knocked since but still lightly-raced and first-time cheekpieces may help.

Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt.
