Won back-to-back handicap hurdles when starting out for this yard last year; promising return when placed at Killarney in August and encouraging enough chase debut at that venue last time; improvement likely but would need a sizeable career best.

Five-time winner under rules (three over hurdles); took second behind progressive rival on return from 87-day break at Punchestown in October (2m7f, good to yielding); another positive run when third over fences last time at Down Royal (3m, good to yielding); consistent sort but there may be better handicapped contenders.
