Placed three times in maiden hurdles at this venue before making all for an emphatic in a 2m contest here 13 days ago; no issue with this trip; others are much better suited by the race conditions.

Touched off in a Down Royal Flat maiden last year (1m3f, good); made a mistake at two out when a 6.5l fourth at Ballinrobe last month (2m2f, good); runner-up over C&D last time when hampered by a faller at the last but it likely would merely have reduced the 14l winning margin; needs to progress.

Tailed off in soft-ground bumper here last year; was shaping well on hurdling debut at Clonmel when knuckling on landing two out, fourth at the time and with running left to give; well beaten in Roscommon novice latest, but the three ahead of him were all previous winners; place chance.
