Point winner, who was also twice placed in bumpers; first two attempts over hurdles (maidens) were satisfactory but he was well beaten at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding to soft) six weeks ago; hood added to tongue-tie for handicap debut.

Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip.

Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause.
