Made heavy weather of justifying short odds in his maiden (2m, soft) but benefited enormously from the step up to 2m4f when coming from last to first in the Grade 1 Lawlor's at Naas (outsider of seven; Lecky Watson staying on in third); hasn't been foot-perfect over his hurdles but that can improve with experience and there are 3m winners in his family; big shout.
