Placed in a point-to-point and in all four starts on the track; turned over at short odds in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, soft) on New Year's Day, and even shorter when trounced by the front-running Tip Of The Wings at Limerick; jumping was sloppy then; some reservations but holds obvious chance.

Placed form in maiden hurdles before winning a weak Thurles contest in March (2m1f, soft to heavy) under positive tactics; in contrast to his win, was ridden cold for Fairyhouse handicap debut (2m, yielding) but never near to challenge despite keeping on well for seventh; worth another chance off the same mark.

It wasn't a strong maiden he won at Thurles (soft/heavy; beat two outsiders) but he did that very easily under positive tactics and he's clearly unexposed ahead of this first handicap; his yard has won the last two renewals.
