Left his first two hurdle runs behind with a close up third at Tramore in April, possibly improving for better ground, and arrives on the back of a career best Flat run when third at Navan; ought to go well if he builds on that back over timber.

Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper.
