Placed in four of seven bumper starts and in both starts over hurdles; seems to run best on good ground, so any ease in the ground might be a negative; may need this after a break.

Placed in four of seven bumper starts; seems to run best on good ground, so won't want any rain; finished second behind a well-touted Gordon Elliott runner at Down Royal last time (2m1f, good to yielding); makes hurdles debut now and he is consistent.

0-7 under Rules; placed in three of his six starts in bumpers; beaten just 2.5l when runner up at Punchestown on latest (16.5f, gd-yld); sole run on softer than good was below par so may need the forecast rain to miss.

Placed in two of his four completed starts in bumpers and has kept decent company; made a bright start over hurdles when third behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance at Roscommon late last month; could go well back in this sphere.

Definite signs of winning potential in his five bumpers, latterly behind a useful prospect at Killarney; Flat bred but should be fine over hurdles.
