Three bumper wins including defeat of Ile Atlantique, impressive maiden hurdle winner

Second to Firefox in a bumper, looked a top prospect on hurdling return, stable selected

Failed to quicken when third in the Royal Bond, form is solid, extra half-mile should suit

Made all under today's rider to beat modest opposition readily at Clonmel, unexposed

Was suited by the step up to 2m4f when landing Grade 3 Navan event, Firefox appeals more

Jumping was untidy when second to a stablemate of An Tobar in 2m4f Grade 2 event at Navan
