Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding) in September; even better form in defeat later in the autumn, including fifth of 17 in a notably strong 3m Cheltenham handicap on good; returns from a four-month break as a 6yo who could easily have more to offer.

By Galileo and out of his yard's Cheltenham Festival winner Vroum Vroum Mag; didn't hang about over hurdles despite showing useful form in his two races; likely that he needed his first run over fences (after 312 days off) and then won pretty much as he liked at Galway (2m6f, good), the form of which has been well franked by the runner-up; improving and has lots of potential.

Beaten at short odds on debut in a bumper at this venue two years ago; won over hurdles at Roscommon last summer after a break; runner-up in a Listed novice here later that month, beaten by the subsequent County Hurdle second Sticktotheplan; ran out of steam on his reappearance in a 3m1f chase at Punchestown last month; likely to be at peak form now.
