Point-to-point winner is 0-15 under rules', but he has been running well in defeat recently; beaten just a nose at Limerick last month (2m7f, heavy); followed that with a runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m7f, soft); cheekpieces are added to the tongue tie now, but better ground is a bit concerning. |

Progressive handicap hurdler in March/April; off the mark over 2m5f at Down Royal (yielding) and better again off 11lb higher when clear second to a ready winner over C&D (soft-to-heavy); every chance here if a poor recent chase run is ignored; reservations about good ground. |
