Wide-margin Galway Hurdle winner; relatively unexposed on the Flat; stayed on well into fourth over 1m5f at Leopardstown on latest; strong contender for the trainer of last year's shock winner.

Fifth in King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot; beaten 8l in sixth in Irish Derby; exploited drop in class when making almost all to win a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran; readily mastered by the talented Crystal Black at Leopardstown 12 days later; made the running for stablemate Kyprios in the Irish St Leger; strong chance in theory if he stays.
