Point/bumper winner; won easily under no-nonsense rides from the front at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) and here (2m3f, heavy) but met his match over 3m in Albert Bartlett when fifth (Fruit De Mer second, The Passing Wife third); clearly needs to find more.

Point/bumper winner; won easily under no-nonsense rides from the front at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) and Punchestown (2m3f, heavy) and now tackles his toughest test yet with a dangerously unexposed profile; on running style and most definitely on pedigree, the step up to 3m looks a major plus.

Both wins have come when ridden from the front, a Galway maiden hurdle and a Thurles handicap off 124; has come up well short in both previous runs in graded company; now tried in a hood; others preferred.

Evidently well suited by being able to dominate as he's 2-2 under front-running tactics (0-3 otherwise); trounced his rivals in Thurles handicap (2m, yielding) most recently, proving well ahead of a mark of 124; should have more to offer in the right circumstances and grade but this scenario fails on both counts; faces a stiff task on the figures and competition for the lead.

Solid runs in defeat in both bumper starts before returning from a 245-day break to make an immediate breakthrough over hurdles at Galway with the minimum of fuss, and form of that race looks reasonable (2m, yielding); too keen in the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse last time when a 20l fifth; big player on handicap debut.
