Was a smart novice hurdler last year and has won 6 of his 9 starts. He made his debut in a 3m maiden point at Balleyragget in March 2013, beating Many Stars 3l, won a 2m bumper at Punchestown at the end of April beating Rock The World by 2l. He won another bumper at Fairyhouse in April 2014, then won a 2m maiden hurdle at Killarney in May beating Badgerfort by 4l over 2m 4f.  He reappeared last season in November, winning a 3m grade3 novice hurdle by 3/4l from Ask Vic, then won a similar event in December at Limerick beating Outlander a neck. He was then 2nd to Outlander over 2m 4f at Leopardstown in January in a grade 2 novice hurdle, but finished the season in style by winning the 3m grade 1 Albert Bartlett hurdle at the Cheltenham festival by ½ l from Milsean at 14/1.  His long term target is the World hurdle this season.
