First reserve; ran a blinder when beaten a neck off 89 at Galway last September; also ran a pleasing race on sole previous outing at Ballinrobe, beaten 8l into fifth off 90; was disappointing at Sligo last time but back down to a mark of 89 and can't fully discount if getting a run.

Didn't show much in four maiden hurdles at 16.5f to 21f but mild promise in handicaps; looked like he didn't get home over 21.5f on handicap debut; too keen over 19.5f last time at Kilbeggan; in good hands but hard to know his ideal trip and probably best watched for now.
