Won Quakerstown maiden for John Costello last December after which he made £280,000 at the sales; evens favourite on yard debut in Cork point-to-point bumper but could manage only third behind Flemensface (later stripped of the race); made amends at Tipperary and appeals as a bright jumping prospect; trip may be shorter than ideal but could be good enough.

Showed promise in a valuable sales bumper on debut but then was a disappointing favourite after a break; however, made no mistake on heavy ground at Galway last time; looks a leading contender for top yard on hurdling debut.
