Ended last season with a below-par run in a Fairyhouse novice handicap in April (2m, yld-sft); recent maiden winner at Kilbeggan; trainer's Mino Des Mottes is more appealing.

Won a point and had good bumper form, winning at Punchestown and third in a Listed race at Cheltenham; yet to translate that form over hurdles, though was closer last time at Kilbeggan (2m; beaten 14l); the hood tried there is now removed.

Form of his debut bumper win has worked out well but disappointing since; beaten favourite in a Cheltenham November bumper when third and weakened tamely at Leopardstown; hurdles didn't spark a return to form at Down Royal last time; big chance if back to form of bumper win, but that's a big if.
