Top-rated of these over hurdles (133), winning four from ten; trounced his four rivals on chasing debut at Limerick in May (2m4f, good to yielding), jumping fluently and travelling strongly; that was a very promising first run over fences and he can make it back-to-back wins despite dropping back in trip.
