Won over hurdles and on the Flat (12.5f) at Limerick last year; ran well over timber at Sligo on his penultimate start in a claimer but heavy defeat back on the Flat at Tramore (2m) on latest; well handicapped but needs to rebound back in trip.

Was in better form last year when winning at Limerick over hurdles and on the Flat (1m5f, good, rated 73); largely struggled in both codes since, although ran to his mark at Killarney last month when sixth (1m4f, good); took second in a Sligo claiming hurdle last time when well treated; others make more appeal.

Bumper win on good ground here last May sandwiched between two promising maiden hurdle efforts at Wexford (20.5f, yielding) and Downpatrick (2m3f good); soft ground and lack of a run may have been to blame for 44l defeat on latest at Gowran; hood removed; should do better.
