Made a satisfactory bumper debut at Punchestown last April; clear second in a field of 24 at Punchestown in November on hurdling; confirmed a good standard of form when third behind Mullins and Elliott runners in a 25-runner race at Naas; fifth-placed Healy's Pub has franked the form. |

Three-time Flat winner has run well in defeat in maiden hurdles this year, including over C&D; below form in an Aintree handicap last time, but this isn't as competitive and he is one to consider. |
