Bounced back from below par run at Cheltenham to land Downpatrick bumper (2m3f) in excellent style by 16l; backed that up last time out when runner-up at Bellewstown (winner and third won since), beaten 2.75l by The Passing Wife; should take a bit of beating on hurdles debut.

Made an encouraging debut at Roscommon last year but was poor at Cheltenham next time; however, showed his true colours with an impressive all-the-way score in a Downpatrick bumper on recent return; with improvement likely from that he is a big player with the champion amateur aboard; hood retained.

Improved to win a 2m3f bumper at Downpatrick in August; jumping was not his strong suit when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at the same venue last month, but the winner did the form no harm whan a close second in a Galway novice hurdle last weekend; this looks a much more difficult assignment though.

Won maiden hurdle at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and easily followed up at Hereford (2m, soft); tailed off in Grade 2 at Kempton (2m, good to soft) since but he's a leading contender if bouncing back to his best now back down in grade.
