Exciting young chaser; has to improve now tackling open Grade 1 company but that is likely

Won this last year and added Ryanair since; goes well fresh and a big run is likely

Top-rated but beaten nearly 20l by Minella Indo on return at Punchestown and questions now

Showed enthusiasm to win a Grade 3 on return; can run a big race if improving from that
