Capable of useful form over fences in Ireland for Gordon Elliott but he's still to score in this sphere and has offered little for his new yard, jumping sketchily when pulled up in 3m Doncaster handicap three weeks ago; plenty more is required despite a tumbling mark.

Won a handicap hurdle at Wexford last summer and several promising efforts this year, including over timber at Roscommon in August when only finding one too good; may have won that without a bad mistake late and arrives on the back of a facile success over fences at Galway on Tuesday; should go well from lower hurdle mark.
