Decent novice hurdler last season he made his debut at Loughrea in May last year winning a 3m 4 year old geldings point by a neck from Leader Crik.
Moving across the water to Olly Murphy, he made his rules debut at Plumpton in November, finishing 2nd in a 2m 4f maiden hurdle, beaten 3 ½ l by Maldini Milano (gave 1 lb), then at Bangor 3 weeks later in a 2m 3f maiden hurdle was 4th beaten 8 ½ l by Atlantic Lad (gave 4lb). He got off the mark in December at Wetherby winning a 2m 5f handicap hurdle by a neck from Malicash (gave 6lb), and in March this year followed up over course and distance in a similar event beating Mandarb ( received 10 lb) 2 ¼ l. He finished the season at Punchestown in April finishing 2nd beaten ½ l by Powerful in a 2m 3f handicap hurdle and reappeared at Chepstow in October, winning a 2m 3f Premier handicap hurdle by 2 ¼ l from Perseus Way (received 5lb).
Olly Murphy told The Punter: "he is a tough, hardy horse, a progressive handicapper who could next run at Cheltenham on 13 November in a handicap hurdle." He should certainly win again this season.
