Useful sort who should improve over fences, he made his debut at Down Royal in November 2012, taking a 2m bumper by 3l from Isle View, then in April 2013, was third at Fairyhouse 4 ½ l behind the Mighty Milan in a similar event and filled the same place behind the Liquidator 3 weeks later at Punchestown in the Champion Bumper. He reappeared at Navan last November, winning a 2m 4f novice hurdle by 3l from Azorian, then was 4th in a grade 2 novice hurdle in April this year at Fairyhouse, 20  l behind Lieutenant Colonel, and finished the season with a 3 ½ l second to Vautour at Punchestown in the Grade 1 2m 4f Champion novice hurdle. He made a winning reappearance at Down Royal recently, winning a 2m 4f Beginners Chase by 3l from Thunder and Roses, and should win more races at the right level.
