Looked to have a future when shaping well in an Irish bumper (good to yielding) and a C&D novice (soft); Ffos Las last time was a backward step but heavy ground there doesn't suit all horses; remains of interest.

Clear promise in bumper at the Punchestown festival (sole Irish start) and novice hurdle at Newbury (2m4f, soft); latter form franked when the winner ran well in the Challow; leading claims.

110,000euros 3yo; 14-1, showed promise in seventh of 24 for bumper at the Punchestown festival (2m, good to yielding) in April for Philip Fenton; Nicky Henderson reported in Stable Tour that "he's been jumping very nicely ... he's strengthened up considerably and looks the part in every way."
