No trip, course or ground issues, and way down in class following last time's Grade 2.

Not jump well and hung left when landing C&D maiden last autumn; likely pace rivalry here.

Gone the wrong way since November's all-the-way Naas score; caution advised for now.

Minor encouragement on first of two hurdles starts; one for 2m4f-plus handicaps later.

Offered little in a bumper here (wouldn't settle) and a 2m4f Hereford novice hurdle.
