Two striking wins at about 2m4f before failing to give his running in an Irish Grade 1

Posted an eyecatching RPR when winning a Listed race at Galway during the summer
3	Jack Hyde Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	154	—	3114-1	123	137	125	31d	—	—	+21	31.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Firmly heading in the right direction and could have a fitness edge over some in here
2	Krak Chestnut J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	157	—	3331-	130	135	127	173d	—	—	+28	37.2	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Ex-Irish and impressed on his final start, a valuable handicap at Cork (2m3f, soft)

Being hard-fit will count for something but debatable whether she's quite up to this level

Significant promise in his three bumpers, latterly in a strong race at Punchestown
6	Moneygarrow Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	154	—	1122-	-	-	-	230d	—	—	+13	17.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Good bumper form and interesting that his top trainer aims this high on hurdling debut
4	Kainsbourg Bay J:James Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	J:James Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	154	tp	43-141	132	145	100	13d	—	—	+17	21.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Was becoming frustrating but has gone 2-3 since the cheekpieces were added
