Flat maiden with a very modest mark but has come on a ton over hurdles, making a successful handicap debut at Punchestown and toughing it out well to take second of 13 finishers in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (also 2m on heavy); has a sharper test to cope with this time but has conditions in his favour and is going the right way.
