Late developing 8yo; progressive form in three bumpers for Pat Fahy last season; second to subsequent Champion Bumper runner-up Romeo Coolio at Fairyhouse and then one better at the same venue; cracking run in a Grade 2 novice hurdle on his final start; should be hard to beat on first start for Gordon Elliott.

Eyecatching bumper form before finishing close up in a Grade 2 hurdle for previous yard; hasn't kicked on from an encouraging start for Gordon Elliott, his form tapering off last season after a first (2m) and second (2m6f) over hurdles; ran okay on chase debut at Sligo but no more than that and his jumping was a bit scruffy at times.

Stamina to prove and he failed to threaten when ninth in the Grand Annual last month; however, Cheltenham may not be his track (also not at his best there last October) and he showed improved form to win a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; only seven and there have been hints that this sort of trip may suit; no surprise to see him go well.
