0-6 in points and 0-7 over hurdles before he got off the mark in a Tipperary handicap (3m, good to yielding) in May last time; cheekpieces get the call-up but he's made serious advances on last two outings and would be set for a bold show granted further improvement. |

Won over 2m1f at Clonmel on heavy ground in October and runner-up at Cork next time; hint at definite return to form at Sligo last month, not quite getting 3m2f trip; slight drop in distance to suit and so would likely softer ground. |

Generally very consistent and finally off the mark in 2m6f Cartmel novice (good) last month; ran no sort of race when strong in the betting at Roscommon this month (3m, yielding to soft) and is 2lb worse off now; probably needs good ground to be seen to best effect. |
