One of two for trainer; point/hurdle/bumper winner was a beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) off 118; never travelling when pulled up next time at Naas (2m4f, heavy); back on track when run down late on at Navan (3m, soft to heavy); up 4lb for that effort but in the mix.
