Expensive recruit after finishing second in a point; took four goes to win his bumper but did it well at Clonmel (soft to heavy) and the runner-up has since gone one better; could take all the beating here.

No great shakes in hunter chases but he won three points and he ran a nice race to be fourth in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here on Monday; this is a quick turnaround and dropping in trip might not be ideal, but there are races in him.
