Sometimes free-going and has worn a hood since switched to hurdles, opening his account in Limerick event at Christmas; only seventh when 25-1 in Leopardstown Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m, heavy) but gives the impression he may fare better at this level when the ground is less testing.

Promising sort in bumpers last season; did well to take second to Talk The Talk at Limerick in October; maiden winner since at that venue.

Flat-bred ran fine races in bumpers here and at Punchestown last spring; stepped up on poor Listowel bumper run when travelling strongly jumping the second-last over C&D (good to yielding) last time before making a mess of the last to finish second; the winner that day has won a Grade 3 since and runs in a Grade 1 over Christmas so the form is solid; big player.

Flat-bred ran fine races in defeat in bumpers here and at Punchestown last spring; was below that level on return at Listowel but should improve from that and run well on hurdles debut; hood added.

Flat-bred but bang there in bumpers at Limerick (soft) and Punchestown (good to yielding), latterly finishing third of 24 with subsequent winners behind him; every chance.
