Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford and Tramore last summer but hasn't been near that level in a bumper and two hurdle runs since; questions to answer.

Worryingly below par in his last two races (bumper/maiden) but his seconds in maidens last August (one here) gives him definite hopes off this sort of mark; hard to dismiss.

Was runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and here (2m5f) last August; beaten 5l on latter occasion by a subsequent Grade 3 winner; was poor in a bumper when last seen but is a big player if back to best form on return.

Pulled-up in both point starts but much better when runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and Tramore (2m5f); holds a sound chance if able to transfer that form to bumpers.

Half-brother to winners Down Around (2m4f hurdle) and The Ducks Walk (point); dam 9.4f/1m2f winner and placed hurdler; pulled up in both point-to-points last season but very encouraging rules debut (50-1 shot) on better ground in 2m1f Wexford maiden hurdle nine days ago under today's rider, staying on strongly into second after not fluent final two flights and hanging right on run-in; step up in trip here should suit and should go well.
