Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot.

Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player.

3-6 for Roger Varian (rated 93) suited by good ground; joined this stable for 120,000gns; promising third on hurdling debut at Leopardstown; has failed to improve in two winners' events, including a Naas contest in which the subsequent Fred Winter Saratoga was second; the ground remains on the soft side for him.

Reserve; won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; it's fair to label his penultimate run as disappointing, but he travelled with real gusto when third to Hardy Stuff at Leopardstown in his first hurdle race and he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas (behind Saratoga); the stable's Byker was beaten a neck in this three years ago after filling the same position in that Naas race; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now he's handicapping; player.

Held a record of 3-6 for Roger Varian on the Flat (rated 93); joined current connections for 120,000gns before taking third on hurdling debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, travelling strongly until being run down by more experienced hurdlers; didn't come on as expected in Fairyhouse winners' contest a fortnight later, never landing a blow; first experience of soft ground here.
