11st 7lb |
Outsprinted by Firefox in falsely run 2m maiden on hurdling debut in December but scored by wide margin when upped to 2m4f for next outing and confirmed he's a top-class and very exciting novice when drawing nicely clear in Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m, soft) last month; after some dilly-dallying, connections opted to move him back up in trip for his Festival run; regarded by many as the banker of the meeting, and it's easy to understand why. |

11st 12lb |
Hit the frame on each of his three bumper starts and has made an encouraging start to life over obstacles, finishing placed in his three hurdle runs; below his best efforts when a distant second at Killarney when last seen but sets the standard here; off 138 days but should be firmly in the mix again if fit enough. |

Posted three cracking runs in defeat in bumpers, including behind Ballyburn and Fact To File; didn't match that form in two hurdle starts, albeit also beaten by smart rivals; a major player if at his best on return. |
