Commentary

Confirmed the promise of his previous run when readily landing a first win over fences at Limerick last month and had little fuss following up in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (2¾m, good) 71 days ago. Had plenty in hand then and is respected despite jumping remaining a slight concern.
