No wins since two hurdles two seasons ago at around 2m4f; much improved to take third in the Punchestown Grand National Trial in February (3m4f, heavy), coming from further back than first two; may have won a Listed contest at Naas last time (3m1f, soft to heavy) but unseated at the last when jumping into challenger; he's in form and no surprise to see him feature.
