Smart novice hurdler two seasons ago and ended up in a Grade 1 (well beaten); this winning pointer was always going to be a better chaser and, having probably needed his first run back after a long absence, he made no mistake at Gowran (2m4f, soft; jumped well); there should be plenty more to come over this longer trip.
