Ran up a hat-trick of successes in a maiden hurdle, novice hurdle and handicap hurdle over the summer and has climbed 18lb; probably found the step up to 2m7f beyond him at Killarney last time; likely to be one of the pace angles in the race and could take some pegging back if on song.

Off the mark in a Ballinrobe maiden last month and made all next time at Sligo when not well in at the weights; defied a penalty when winning with ease back in a handicap at Ballinrobe this month; this is tougher and has stamina to prove but he's in red-hot form and the yard won this last year.
