Up 8lb for Punchestown win but could be on the upgrade and likely to be a factor here

Two good maiden hurdle runs, the latest in a 2m contest at Limerick last month; contender

Up a total of 17lb but is clearly improving and every chance that he could go close again

Good Limerick run;interesting on his handicap debut and a market watch should be revealing
