Has posted several fine efforts in maiden hurdles, notably when second at Kilbeggan over 2m2f (saddle slipped too); wasn't as good back to 2m at Roscommon since but this step up in trip should suit; big player.

Some solid maiden hurdle form on good ground last summer; produced in good shape at Kilbeggan last month after a break; saddle slipped before the last, and he was worn down in the final strides despite his rider's best efforts; good run in the circumstances; leading chance.

Six of seven runs over hurdles have come here, notably last month when getting off the mark in handicap at this trip in first-time tongue-tie, making all and seeing it out well on good ground; 7lb rise for that so a career-best required now.
