Point-to-point winner followed up on rules debut in Fairyhouse bumper last season (good) but then ran no sort of race on AW at Lingfield; reappeared last month to finish second in 2m6f maiden hurdle here, despite some novicey jumping; drops in trip here but probably the one to beat.

Point winner who won in better style than the winning margin suggested on rules debut at Tipperary; possibly didn't take to AW in a Lingfield bumper when turned over at 2-7 but could easily bounce back now hurdling and the new trip ought to suit.

Form & Verdict
Creditable fourth in fairly good Fairyhouse maiden (2m4f, soft) on debut in April and back to near that level of form at Perth recently when a clear second over 2m4f (good), not helped by a loose horse; keen on latest and now tried hooded and dropped in trip.

Steadily improving 4yo finished a clear second over 2m4f at Perth (good) early this month and 11 days later again clear of the remainder when beaten 2l by an odds-on shot at Downpatrick (2m2f, good), not fluent at last and tending to hang left but keeping on well in first-time hood; still a work in progress but major player.
