High-class bumper horse in 2020/21 season; took time to make an impression as a novice hurdler last season after a long absence; ended up with creditable fourth placings in the Albert Bartlett and in 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree; beat the subsequent Munster National second Largy Debut readily on chasing debut at Gowran; that form looks solid.

Progressive hurdler this year after joining this yard; ready winner at Killarney in May; creditable sixth in Galway Hurdle and a good second in a valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney in August; rated 141 over hurdles, so entitled to have a crack at this despite lack of chasing experience.

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. |

Took his form to a new level in winning a valuable 3m handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February (yielding), producing smart RPR of 134; that's more his trip than 2m2f but he's a promising chaser in the making. |
