1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination.

Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come.

Is 1-9 over hurdles, scoring at Gowran last October and a solid handicap run next time; has also been placed at this track; chasing debut after a break; could run well.

Runner-up on five occasions before trouncing The Mediator at Gowran early last month; the reopposing runner-up has since won a maiden in similar fashion; every chance he can feature in his first handicap.

Runner-up in five of his seven starts over hurdles including twice in August after a break of 11 months; made most of the running at Roscommon and always prominent at Killarney when outpointed by a relatively unfancied Willie Mullins-trained gelding; hard to be confident about his ability to go one better.
