Won on handicap debut at Gowran (2m, heavy) in March; hit with a double whammy over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month, came down at the last when narrowly in front, and got a 5lb hike for his troubles.

Nicely improved to get off the mark on fourth attempt hurdling and on handicap debut at Gowran last month, coming late under patient ride to win going away over 2m (heavy): every chance he'll improve again over this longer trip and 9lb rise workable.

Pedigree profile is interesting, brother to useful bumper/chase winner Soldier In Milan; unexposed sort whose maiden form contains sufficient hints of ability to suggest a live chance on handicap debut.

Punchestown fifth (soft-to-heavy) a step in the right direction but good bit more required here.
