The best bumper horse of his generation won three of his five starts over hurdles last season, including Grade 1 novices at Leopardstown and Punchestown; had an excuse when beaten at Leopardstown in between, while was 3l ahead of Inthepocket in the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham; sets the standard.

It's disconcerting that he flopped behind stablemate Il Etait Temps at Leopardstown last month, even allowing for likelihood that he set off too fast to do himself justice; unbeaten previously (on ground ranging from heavy through to good to yielding), however, including in last season's Champion Bumper here and when readily beating Il Etait Temps in the Grade 1 Future Champions at Leopardstown; strong claims if rediscovering his star potential. |

High-class novice hurdler last year, winning a Grade 1 at Aintree (2m) and Grade 2 at Naas (2m4f); a solid 4th in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in between, 3l behind Facile Vega; won a point on sole start in that sphere, so knows how to jump; a major player.

16th Mar 2022 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Form of his debut win in France (2m1f, very soft) worked out well; made most for very comfortable win in a novice at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in November and he was outdone only on the run-in against established Graded-race hurdlers at Naas (1m7f, good to yielding) in January; this is a new trip for handicap debut but he is probably a high-class jumper in the making. |

30th Jan 2022 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 156y |
11st 7lb |
Form of his debut success in France worked out well and he maintained his unbeaten record when justifying favouritism in a Gowran novice when last seen; did that without much fuss and while the form isn't the strongest on offer, he looks like a very nice prospect; fewer miles on the clock than his rivals. |

Progressed into a decent novice hurdler (rated 130) last season, winning 2m3f Naas maiden and best effort final start when clear second to a smart sort in strongly-run 2m novice at Punchestown festival in April; seemingly the pick of the McManus trio here on jockey bookings for chase debut. |

Kicked off 2023 winning at Punchestown in a 2m maiden (heavy) and 2m4f novice (soft); justified 5-6 favouritism in Grade 3 novice at Thurles (extended 2m4f, good) three weeks ago, doing it very narrowly but he's promising as well as inexperienced and needs plenty of respect on this handicap debut. |
