Good runs in three of his four bumpers, last time making all for a narrow success over C&D (yielding to soft); some course experience is never a bad thing and he's respected.

Just denied on Listowel debut in September by a front-runner (yielding-to-soft) but made amends in emphatic style at Tipperary following month, going right away final furlong from a favourite in 5-runner affair on better ground, still looking green; weight to concede now (having changed ownership) but big player if handling conditions.
