Bumper winner at Thurles in October (2m, gd-yld); soundly beaten in Listed bumper at Navan when last seen when testing ground may not have suited; may do better returned to a sounder surface on hurdles debut.

Not beaten far on Thurles debut but came up against a quality rival (since fourth in Champion Bumper) when beaten 18l at Down Royal; there is unlikely to be a rival of that calibre in this field so should get closer.
