0-11 in bumpers but not beaten far in some of them and ran okay in maiden hurdle last time; his experience should come in handy.

Form & Verdict
Was runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and here (2m5f) last August; beaten 5l on latter occasion by a subsequent Grade 3 winner; was poor in a bumper when last seen but is a big player if back to best form on return.

Worryingly below par in his last two races (bumper/maiden) but his seconds in maidens last August (one here) gives him definite hopes off this sort of mark; hard to dismiss.

Pulled-up in both point starts but much better when runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and Tramore (2m5f); holds a sound chance if able to transfer that form to bumpers.

Went backwards on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien after a promising debut at Galway; tame efforts over timber since joining this stable (highly tried second start) and can only be watched on handicap debut.

Regressive Flat maiden for Joseph O'Brien; huge price when a never-dangerous sixth on hurdles/stable debut at Fairyhouse; out of her depth on latest.
