Maiden Irish point winner who made a pleasing start over hurdles when third of seven finishers at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October; had wind surgery subsequently and showed improved form when beaten half a length in a Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, heavy) last month; looked a winner in waiting that day and should be hard to beat.

Won a Ludlow bumper; 0-3 over hurdles but ran better with a tongue-tie added when a 15l third at Bangor (2m3f, good); probably needs to step up again and by some way to beat the best of these.

Inconclusive hurdles debut latest having refused to settle, but he'd showed a determined attitude in his Ludlow bumper win and the form of his earlier Irish point success has substance; may yet do better.

Fair form when in the frame in a pair of bumpers at Bangor last summer but he beat only one home on his hurdling debut in 2m Chepstow novice 22 days ago when going without his usual tongue strap (refitted here); no surprise to see him bounce back.

Out of a useful and well-connected bumper/hurdle winner; close third in good-ground Bangor bumper last June but that form has not worked out well, and he managed only fourth of six in a similar event soon afterwards.
