Favourite for four-runner bumper on debut in sole start for Tom Mullins but was too keen and finished third; two moderate runs in bumpers for this stable before a much-improved display when second at this venue 16 days ago on his hurdling debut; jumping was fine, needs to settle better.

Slowly improving, fair fifth over C&D in May and later in month stayed on late to chase home a hot favourite at Tramore; tongue-tie now added to hood; more likely needed to play a major role.

Finished third in a bumper and maiden hurdle last year on good ground in first two starts; not as good twice since on softer ground last December; has the ability to go well on handicap debut and worth a market check.
