70-rated Flat maiden after five starts; has taken well to hurdling; wide-margin maiden scorer at Roscommon in August; unplaced on Flat before producing smart display to beat Willie Mullins-trained favourite Gaucher at Listowel; runner-up franked the form by winning a four-runner Grade 3 contest at Tipperary.

Form & Verdict
Easy Punchestown maiden winner despite racing keenly and jumping to his left; didn't get away with doing the same in a Listed novice at Galway last time but this track should suit a lot better; has to rebound but the one to beat if doing so.
