Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding; acquitted himself creditably in Grade 1 Leopardstown novices', including third to stablemate Doctor Steinberg (2m6f, heavy); most recently not at same level back in trip in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; place claims at best.

Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding; has acquitted creditably in Grade 1 Leopardstown novices' since, none too fluent when third at Christmas (heavy) and keen enough when third over 2m6f behind a stablemate at the DRF; drop back to 2m4f probably in his favour and open to improvement on better ground.

T: W P Mullins

Won a bumper, maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good-to-yielding ground at very short odds; those races possibly did not advance his education since his jumping was untidy in a 2m Grade 1 race here at Christmas; third to Skylight Hustle was respectable in the circumstances; some reservations about trip/ground.

Unbeaten in a Tramore bumper, Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (2m3f) and 2m Tipperary Grade 3 novice without being extended, all on good to yielding ground; this race will be a much bigger examination but he's an unknown quantity and could have plenty of improvement to come; one of two for Willie Mullins.
