One of three for yard; smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; didn't get home up the Cheltenham hill in the Supreme last time; this track should suit better; preferred by Kennedy and big chance if cutting out the jumping errors.

Appears to act on any ground; good fifth in the Champion Bumper at this meeting last year then might have won at Punchestown but for hanging badly left; sold for £410,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal in October; clumsy at the final flight in both attempts over hurdles, causing him to stumble and fall when looking the likely winner at Leopardstown but getting away with it and comfortably beating his rivals at Thurles (2m); not without his flaws but has a big engine and brings serious potential to this return to Cheltenham.

Recruited for 200,000euros after winning a point; smart bumper form last season for Gary & Josh Moore, fifth in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and runner-up at Punchestown; bought for £410,000 at Cheltenham in October; would have been an easy winner on hurdle/yard debut at Leopardstown but stumbled and fell after jumping the last; Supreme second favourite is impossible to oppose.

Recruited for 200,000euros after winning a point for Sean Doyle in April 2024 and smart bumper form last season for Garry & Josh Moore, winning at Newbury, good fifth in Cheltenham Festival Bumper and clear second at Punchestown Festival, having hung left final furlong; bought for 410,000GBP at Cheltenham in October and very interesting recruit for the Elliott team now switched to hurdles.
