0-8 on the Flat but consistent in defeat and only narrowly failed to win a 2m premier handicap at Naas (soft) on his final appearance in October; now goes hurdling in a race lacking much depth and has to go close if taking to it.

Yet to score on the Flat, best effort when runner-up in last season's November Handicap; two wins over hurdles this year and most recently finished a decent sixth in a very valuable Punchestown festival handicap hurdle; champion jockey booked and likely to have a leading chance; handles all ground.

Lightly raced but already a better chaser than hurdler, two wins coming over 2m4f at Wexford, most recently showing good attitude back in October on good-to-yielding; absent since but conditions to suit and likely more to offer.

One of two for trainer; built on a creditable third at Kilbeggan on chasing debut to win a beginners' over C&D in July (good); struggled upon entering handicap chase company back at Kilbeggan when upped in trip (3m2f, good to yielding); return to here may see him to best effect.
