Runner-up on second of 2 outings in Irish points and looked useful when justifying strong market support in heavy-ground course bumper in January. Found the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival too much in March but remains one likely to do well in novice hurdles.

£55,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who made a promising start to his Rules career when narrowly denied in a Newcastle bumper (17f, good to soft) in March. Should have a future over jumps on that evidence.

Cost £22,000 after finishing runner-up both starts in points (latest Apr 2026). Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and may not come into his own until tackling longer trips.
