0-10 over timber but has placed six times in maiden hurdles; sole handicap start came at Musselburgh in February and was soundly beaten; similar outcome in Tramore maiden hurdle latest; others appeal more.

Rated 106; has placed in six of his nine starts over hurdles; soundly beaten on handicap debut after a layoff at Musselburgh latest; will strip fitter now but more needed back in a maiden in first-time cheekpieces.

Best run came on second handicap start at Punchestown (good to yielding) last time when upped to 3m for the first time and beaten a short head off 3lb lower; the abandonment of the first-time tongue tie worn that day and the drop back in trip are both question marks now but good chance with a repeat of latest run.
