One of two for trainer; 1m4f winner in France on debut (soft); highly tried in 2m juvenile hurdles last season, finishing 11l behind top prospect Narciso Has in a Leopardstown Grade 2 (yielding) and then Grade 1 (heavy); didn't appear to give true running in Triumph; fell three out at Fairyhouse last time; big player dropped to this level.

Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt.
