Placed in two of his four completed starts in bumpers and has kept decent company; made a bright start over hurdles when third behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance at Roscommon late last month; could go well back in this sphere.

0-7 in bumpers but has run well in defeat on occasion; finished 1.5l behind Premier Rogue when fourth at Punchestown on latest, weakening late under positive ride in first-time blinkers (retained); may have needed that run so not discounted.
