Point winner who lost his Rules debut in the stewards' room but quickly made amends at the Galway festival 51 days ago. Every chance he'll go in again.

Form: 1/D1

11/8

1/4, confirmed debut promise when winning 8-runner bumper at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 77 days ago, easily. Plenty more improvement in him and should put up a bold bid for the follow-up.

Form: 1-21

17/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, third of 8 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) 6 days ago. Further progress required if he's to trouble a couple of these rivals.
