Progressed well over hurdles once he joined this yard and his form in that discipline is right up there in this company; finished a well-held second on chase debut at Cork (2m4f, soft) but that was a strong-looking Grade 3 and the winner is decidedly useful; this shorter trip won't faze him (travels strongly; settles better these days) and there's lots to like about his prospects.

Bumper win and both hurdle wins came here, including valuable auction event at the festival, having previously finished third in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett (Affordale Fury second); okay chasing debut at Fairyhouse early this month over an inadequate 2m and while improvement guaranteed now stepping up in trip this looks a tough ask at this stage of his chasing career.
