Point-to-point winner; 0-4 in bumpers but was only beaten a short head at Naas in December (2m, sft-hvy) and the winner subsequently placed in a Grade 2 bumper at the DRF; didn't back that up at Punchestown last month and needs to leave that behind on hurdling debut.

Respectable efforts in both bumpers last year but needs to find a fair bit more after a break and this ground is new to him.
