Set a tall order when finishing eighth of 12 in a Punchestown novice hurdle when last seen; prior to that he ran okay after returning from a break to finish sixth at Clonmel on maiden hurdle debut (2m, good to yielding); tries 3m for the first time under rules but could go well now at a more appropriate level. |
