Point winner, form of his Listowel third has been well advertised, below best in a bumper

Placed in a bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle, not as effective on heavy ground on latest

In good hands, failed to feature when a remote seventh over 2m4f at this venue on debut

Flashes of promise, plenty to prove now judged on Limerick and Clonmel runs
