Came back from a long layoff to start the campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); attempted to make all in a race of this type at Cork but was found wanting after a mistake two out; fitted with cheekpieces now.

Showed ability when fourth on second bumper start; was never dangerous but did run on when making hurdling debut at Roscommon; should be sharper for that.

His fourth when 4-1 for his hurdling debut at Killarney in May (2m1f, good to yielding) offered something to work with but was still beaten 21l; was a non-runner on account of yielding ground at Punchestown in April so these conditions have to rate as a concern on his return from a 141 day break.

Reportedly did not handle the heavy ground when tailed off in a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse; second-favourite on that occasion; Harry Swan aboard again, could be a different proposition on better going.
