Useful five-time winner for Peter Fahey who changed hands for 25,000euros last November; two handicap chase runs for this yard well below best, as was recent 3m Listowel handicap hurdle effort; questions to answer on ground on the soft side for the 9yo.

Some decent form in bumpers last year without winning; failed to justify 5-4 favouritism when a 5l second at Downpatrick on hurdles debut in August (2m2f, good); repaid the faithful at Killarney earlier this month when a comfortable winner (2m1f, yielding); makes handicap debut now and is a leading contender.
