Bumper winner took a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle last autumn but was then poor twice after; his yard is in better form now but he has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these rivals.

Placed in three of four starts in bumpers on good and soft ground; encouraging run on hurdling debut at Cork (2m3f, soft) after 194 day break; should strip fitter for that and shaped like further would suit; leading claims with rider taking off a handy 7lb.

Best effort in maidens his last one, a 13l sixth of 14 at Navan (2m5f, yielding); opening mark of 107 could be workable on that evidence (split 113 and 110 rated rivals); not discounted on handicap bow.

His fifth at Punchestown sets the standard and he had every chance when jinking and running out late on at Listowel; hung right throughout that day so no surprise to see him returning to a right-handed track; the one to beat.
