Half-brother to top-class State Man made a winning hurdles debut at Tramore last year; ran a decent race behind stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown in March; fading in third when falling at the last at Cork and poor jumping took its toll when pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing now; has twice been scratched on good-to-yielding ground, which is a concern.

Tramore maiden winner (yielding) last year; after a long layoff, was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown but was running well considering he faced a stiff task at the weights when a faller at the last (held in third) behind two 150+ rated rivals over 2m at Cork over Easter; half-brother to State Man remains unexposed and could go well if staying this longer trip (Townend's choice); hood back on.

Won novice hurdle in April and is 3-3 over fences since, the latest win gained in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; may still have more improvement to come if aided by first-time cheekpieces but contests a stronger race here and the drop back in trip is not sure to suit.

Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon.
