Fair hurdler who likes to get on with things on the front end, collared late on in Downpatrick beginners' chase (19.5f, good) in August; jumped out to right when poor at Listowel next time and unseated rider two from home after leading for a long way in Punchestown Grade 3 latest; right-handed track will suit and dangerous if allowed to dictate back in trip.
