Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here.

Maintained his progress with a front-running win on good to yielding at Kilbeggan (2m; 4-11f) but probably needs another step forward to defy his penalty in this stronger race.

Well below the fairly useful form he showed in the autumn when beaten odds-on favourite in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) in April but made amends when winning tactical match race at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; his profile is still not entirely convincing but he has strong claims here.
