Bought for £360,000 after scoring over hurdles at Fairyhouse in November; has created a very good impression for his new yard, following up in Newbury novice (2m) before finishing third of ten in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January; the one to beat back after a break here.

Sufficiently impressive in an Irish academy hurdle (soft/heavy) to make £360,000 at the sales; received 20lb off the long odds-on favourite when flooring him at Newbury (2m, good) but that was a notable scalp he took and he's in against his own age group this time; Paul Nicholls considers him one of his brightest young talents; clearly very promising.

Kept on well for 80-1 fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) and this step up in trip could prompt further improvement; however, two starts ago this 4yo was soundly beaten by Montemares and Kosac d'Oudairies at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) and he needs to back up his latest promise.

Merely pushed out to win an Exeter bumper (good to firm) and breezed clear for a successful hurdling debut at Warwick two months ago (2m, good to soft); in a lot deeper here but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and Jane Williams rates her highly; could be a player in receipt of weight from all her rivals.

Won smoothly on good to soft at Exeter and Chepstow (Grade 2) on first two hurdle starts, but the latter was only a five-runner race and the market leaders flopped; 9-1 when beaten 13l by Maestro Conti in C&D Grade 2 (soft) seven weeks ago, so would need the ground as a major excuse to have even a squeak in this top race.

Hooded since looking tricky on his debut; the ground was yielding when he displayed a good turn of foot to edge out Ole Ole in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas and he was too free for his own good when strong in the betting for a Grade 2 here on Trials Day (soft); a combination of the expected good to soft ground and a bigger-field scenario heightens interest in this Flat bred; needs a close look.

Looked far from straightforward on his debut but has improved for the hood and arrived on the scene travelling strongly at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) before digging deep to edge out a solid yardstick with the pair nicely clear; the form of that maiden has taken some knocks but he's on an upward curve; much respected.

Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song.
