Close second in a Haydock bumper (1m7f, soft) on his debut last December before winning at Ayr (2m, good) in March; didn't shine in his final run last season but he's out of a sister to a smart jumper and is an interesting contender on this switch to hurdling.

0-5 in Irish points but he was runner-up on testing ground in his final run in that sphere; now switches to rules after 279 days off but he has a good jumping pedigree and needs watching in the market.

Won in the mud in the last two of his four Irish points; disappointing as favourite in a bumper here in May but he's had wind surgery since and is respected with tongue-tie added on this switch to hurdling; yard won this last year and also landed a division in 2021.
