Five runs in bumpers last season; recorded three seconds (including in a Listed contest at Navan) and a fourth after winning on debut at Roscommon; ran up against the smart William Munny at Naas; also kept good company at Fairyhouse on final start; dam was a Grade 1-winning chaser in France; could be better than these rivals if he jumps well.
