Maiden hurdle winner; best Flat runs came on soft ground in the spring when second in a Curragh maiden over 1m and at Bellewstown over this trip; taken off his feet at Laytown last time over 7f; a return to his best can be expected with trip and ground in his favour; headgear now fitted and is the one to beat.
