Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round.

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces.

T: Noel Meade

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard.

J: Donagh Meyler

Three Flat turf wins, including a premier handicap at this venue in October on heavy; was a ready winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle on yielding, coped well with the step up in class when a head second to Koktail Brut in the Royal Bond.

T: Noel Meade

Two wins on soft at Sandown (1m/1m2f) for Peter Chapple Hyam last season; bought for 125,000gns and none too fluent on yard debut in finishing second in Cork 4yo maiden hurdle in March; back from summer break when awarded recent Leopardstown premier Flat handicap after being badly hampered by winner closing stages; reportedly schooled well so could well improve on that Cork run.
