Consistent efforts in bumpers and maiden hurdles rewarded when readily accounting for today's rival Whats New in a Sligo maiden hurdle last month; up 5lb for that and more needed in his first handicap but looks to be going the right way.

Flat winner has a kink in him, and has twice run out, but solid seconds last twice and there was good money for him last time when clear of the remainder at Sligo, beaten around 2l by 115-rated rival; ground suits and this is a good opportunity.
