Point/bumper winner; two moderate hurdle runs last year; a different proposition this season; wide-margin winner of a 20-runner Cork maiden (2m, good) in July; landed short odds at Perth early this month; can continue to improve but faces stiff task here; meets Bartholomew on 23lb worse than handicap terms.

Beaten 14l into second in a bumper by an odds-on shot on second start here in May (2m2f, good); followed that with a maiden hurdle win back here last time (2m1f, good); needed to dig deep to get the win; he can keep improving on handicap debut.

Long odds for all three starts in bumpers; well-beaten in the first two but signs of promise when a keeping on 7.75l third of 15 at odds of 80-1 at Tramore (16.5f, gd-yld) when last seen in August; this trip should suit on that evidence; place chance if fit after break.
