Dual Flat winner was a good second of 15 on hurdles bow at Downpatrick in September (2m2f, yielding) and would have made the winner work for it if not unseating his rider at the last at Tramore in April (2m, soft); of concern is that the worst of his three hurdle runs came over C&D in October when a 21l sixth of 13 but could go well; well beaten on Flat when last seen.
