Classy Flat pedigree and won over 1m4f in France; hasn't built on his odds-on success in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Punchestown (heavy); last two runs when pulling up at Punchestown and Galway too bad to be true; hopes rest on drier ground (weather permitting) but it's difficult to be enthusiastic about him at present.

Showed some ability when staying-on fourth in 2m4f Navan maiden last month won by a stablemate of Billericay Dickie (in same ownership); going the right way but good bit more likely required here.

Consistent sort placed in all four maiden hurdles although latest remote Limerick third wasn't his best (stamina test possibly stretched him); likely place prospects again here.
