Reserve; 13th at 33-1 in the Champion Bumper here last March; progressing well at 2m in the mud as a hurdler, easily winning a maiden at Punchestown and second of 19 when hot favourite for a top handicap at Leopardstown on latest run; the front two drew clear in the latter, after this one travelled best and launched a strong challenge; not crying out for this longer trip on that display but his stable has made many notable strikes.

Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding; has acquitted creditably in Grade 1 Leopardstown novices' since, none too fluent when third at Christmas (heavy) and keen enough when third over 2m6f behind a stablemate at the DRF; drop back to 2m4f probably in his favour and open to improvement on better ground.

Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding ground at very short odds; those races possibly did not advance his education since his jumping was untidy in a 2m Grade 1 race here at Christmas; third to Skylight Hustle was respectable in the circumstances; some reservations about trip/ground.
