Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner ran respectably in a Tipperary bumper on rules debut and built on that when third in 2m4f Listowel bumper in June, beaten around 5l; never figured here over 2m on hurdling debut; step up in trip will suit and top jockey booked but still needs to find plenty.

Good ground Thurles maiden hurdle winner who has been placed off this mark; ran a decent race faced with an unrealistic task at Cork on stable debut and another positive effort at Killarney when fifth back in handicap company (4.25l behind Falco Blitz); blinkers go on and he's lightly-raced for his age.
