Runner-up on sole bumper start (Navan) and having finished fourth to Lazare De Star on hurdles debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, returned from a break to win over same trip at Cork last month, showing good attitude from the last (yielding); more needed.

Ran twice in points; promising second behind the smart-looking Oh My Word (winner again since) in a bumper at Navan in November; posted another solid effort when fourth on first start over hurdles at Leopardstown in December (2m4f, good to yielding); definite chance.

Didn't cut much ice in a pair of point-to-points but ran a fine race to finish a 1.25l second on Rules' debut in a Navan bumper (2m, sft-hvy) last month behind the smart prospect Oh My Word; good chance he'll stay this far and could go well on hurdling debut.

Unseated on point-to-point debut and a 5.5l fourth last time; that form shouldn't be good enough on rules debut.
