£200,000 purchase after justifying favouritism in an Irish point; easy winner on hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November, and a comprehensive defeat at Cheltenham the following month came in a much stronger race; now has to bounce back in a first-time tongue-strap but he certainly retains potential.

£200,000 buy soon after justifying favouritism in an Irish point (3m, yielding) in March; 5-6 for six-runner novice at Lingfield (extended 2m3f, good to soft) one month ago and brushed his rival aside in impressive fashion from approaching the final flight; that's not the best form in this field but he looks the type to make major progress.

Joined this powerful yard for £200,000 after justifying favouritism in an Irish point (3m, yielding) and has to be of strong interest, especially if popular in the betting.
