Improved to win a 2m3f bumper at Downpatrick in August; jumping was not his strong suit when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at the same venue last month, but the winner did the form no harm whan a close second in a Galway novice hurdle last weekend; this looks a much more difficult assignment though.
