Sometimes free-going and has worn a hood since switched to hurdles, opening his account in Limerick event at Christmas; only seventh when 25-1 in Leopardstown Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m, heavy) but gives the impression he may fare better at this level when the ground is less testing.

Promising sort in bumpers last season; did well to take second to Talk The Talk at Limerick in October; maiden winner since at that venue.

Flat-bred ran fine races in defeat in bumpers here and at Punchestown last spring; was below that level on return at Listowel but should improve from that and run well on hurdles debut; hood added.

Flat-bred but bang there in bumpers at Limerick (soft) and Punchestown (good to yielding), latterly finishing third of 24 with subsequent winners behind him; every chance.

Flat-bred sort ran a fine race on debut in a Listed bumper at Limerick despite being green; had 4.75l to spare over today's rival Scariff Bridge and with improvement likely he looks a major player today.
