0-8 but ran well to be a 13l third on last month's chase debut at Downpatrick; the good ground seemed to help him there so watch the weather.

Only success was in a Punchestown hunter chase in which he could finish only fifth three weeks ago; however, did finish second off a higher mark at Kilbeggan last summer so can't be totally discounted.
