Hooded for the first time when beating 12 rivals in a 2m6f maiden at Tramore (good) and got pestered up front when beaten 5l in a 2m2f novice here a month ago; should give his running and might not be far away back up in distance.

Left previous ordinary form behind when winning a Tramore maiden hurdle 15 days ago (2m6f, good) in first-time hood (retained); handed a rating of 102 for that; raider claims 7lb but whether this sharper test will suit is debatable.

Point winner was tailed off on bumper debut at the Punchestown festival but was much better after a break at Cork; that was a decent bumper and if he can improve a bit on that form over hurdles then has a solid chance.
