Won a 2m beginners' chase at Wexford in October; went close in a 2m Grade 2 here in November; after a break, well below his best at Thurles in March; career-best with the help of new hold-up tactics when outsider of eight in Grade 1 Fairyhouse, beating Kappa Jy Pyke; third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle here a year ago; fair chance of staying this far.
