Got to within 1.75l of Ballyfad in a Punchestown bumper (16.5, heavy) in November; below that level next two bumper runs but encouraging effort on hurdles debut when an 8.75l fourth behind three geldings at this venue (2m4f, yielding) last month; enters calculations now.

Identical RPRs (104) when fourth in a bumper on debut here in January and when beaten 12l into second in another bumper at Ayr, both on soft ground; bred to make a hurdler and in good hands; could go well.
