Form & Verdict
Bumper winner but couldn't get competitive in maiden hurdles last season and tailed off on handicap debut when last seen in May; however, has now joined Willie Mullins and could be a different proposition with a first-time tongue-tie tried; best form so far has come on softer ground.
