Enjoyed a standout season, highlighted by landing Grade 3 honours at Naas in January (2m, heavy); has been found out upped to Grade 1 level twice this term, 19l behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana Hurdle (16.5f, soft to heavy) and no chance when unseated at the last in the Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft); below his best in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last time; hard to see him being involved.

Better than ever this season and has contested two Grade 1s; appreciated the drop in class when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) and this 7yo is a good bet to give his running (stays this far); very sound jumper.

Better than ever this season, winning over 2m3f at Punchestown and has run well in defeat since chasing home clear-cut winners at same venue in both Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle and when over 8l off front-running Fabiolo on New Year's Eve (2m3f); seems sure to run another solid race (running in colours of Limestone Lad).

Form & Verdict
15-race maiden but definite signs of progression this season, putting in a career-best effort when a good third to good novices Slade Steel and King Of Kingsfield over 2m here in November; new headgear tried and won't have to improve any to have a big chance if the step up in trip suits.

Maiden; 0-8 in chases; runner-up in the Dublin National over 3m4f at Leopardstown last March and over 3m at the same track in December, both on yielding ground; 2m in cheekpieces did not work out last time; right back up in trip today but needs a big career best.

Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here.
