Point winner won a bumper last season before not giving his running (had excuses) in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper; back to form when winning a Clonmel maiden hurdle on return but still raced keenly; looks the yard's second-string and a fair bit to find.

Half-brother to 2m6f-3m1f hurdle winner Schalke; dam unraced sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Brijomi Queen, closely related to high-class hurdler/chaser Monalee; impressive point-to-point winner who hit the line strongly when the clearcut winner of a Naas bumper in December (good to yielding); too keen and hampered when down the field in Grade 2 Aintree fillies bumper in April; could be the one to beat on hurdles debut in what looks a weak enough maiden.
