Some sign of ability on the Flat at up to 1m4f; 80-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Clonmel where his jumping lacked any fluency.

Maiden on the Flat but has shown some ability; unseated early on hurdling debut for this yard and poor on the level since; others preferred.

Some promise in bumpers; was badly hampered when well beaten on handicap hurdle debut last time at Clonmel; can do better and sounder surface can help.

Progressive in maiden hurdles on winter ground, notably finishing runner-up at Naas and Limerick over 2m3f; progress stalled on handicap debut at Fairyhouse when tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained); place chance if bouncing back.

Promise in maiden hurdle debut in November 2023 when third; has improved in each of three runs since returning from a mammoth absence; upped in trip when a 2.5l runner-up at Naas last time (2m3f, soft to heavy), keeping on well; key player.

Point winner in 2022; still a maiden under rules; runner-up in final three starts last season (including over fences at Kilbeggan); fair seasonal debut over a trip short of his best at Navan in November (2m, soft to heavy); did well to take third over 2m4f at the same venue after running keenly; down the field on latest.

Sixth of 17 in valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last April; beaten favourite at Limerick on hurdles debut; not disgraced behind El Cairos at Thurles in January; fair fifth of 16 at Punchestown; considered in a contest lacking depth.

Sixth of 17 in valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last April; didn't build on that when midfield in strong Listowel festival bumper; sent off favourite when disappointing fifth at Limerick on hurdle bow (2m3f, soft to heavy); this demands more.

Maiden took a nice step forward over this trip at Punchestown a fortnight ago, well clear of the remainder when outstayed by all-the-way winner Oogum Boogum (good); 3lb better off with that rival now so has her chance.
