Left poor maiden hurdle form behind when winning comfortably at Limerick on handicap debut last time at 28-1 (2m3f, good); he has received a significant rise of 12lb so he will need to improve again. |

Maiden ran some good races in defeat last year, including when runner-up at Thurles (18.5f, yielding) when last seen in October under a forceful ride; the blinkers worn that day are disgarded; 182-day absence. |

Two respectable handicap hurdle runs in September; shaped quite well when around 9l third at Galway on his second handicap chase start; however, there were only six finishers and he will need to raise his game to win here. |

Pulled up on point debut before a decent 6l fourth at Bartlemy; a couple of decent runs over hurdles, particularly when beaten a head at Clonmel in May off 98 (2m3f, good); recent runs leave a bit to be desired, but not ruled out on chasing debut. |

Hinted that this sort of trip might suit when staying on for a 12l fifth of 16 at Clonmel (2m3f, soft) in March; poor over 2m4f at Tramore latest, however, and has to prove her effectiveness on good ground. |
