Has improved drastically for fences, finishing second to Kitzbuhel on debut before winning at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and in Grade 1 at Dublin Racing Festival (extended 2m5f, soft; beat Western Fold by just over 4l); impressed with his jumping and how he stuck to his task last time, attributes you need for this race, and he sets the standard on form; leading player.

Smart novice hurdler last season, winning twice but was found wanting on both ventures into this grade; however, already looks a better chaser, finishing runner-up to subsequent Grade 1-winning stablemate Kitzbuhel at Punchestown before winning a beginners' at Fairyhouse (2m6f); capable of a big run.

Non-stayer (shaped better than the bare result) in the 3m1f Brown Advisory at Cheltenham having surprisingly swerved the 2m4f Jack Richards option; broadly progressive otherwise and scored by a wide margin at Leopardstown (2m5f, yielding) the time before, recording a very useful RPR; ran well in the Mersey over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago; remains of major interest, back down in distance.
