Bumper winner on yielding ground at Clonmel last May having made the frame on his first three starts; had three runs on the Flat before a fair fifth in a decent maiden hurdle at Gowran in October; good run at Naas last month, took a while to get a clear run, stayed on for fourth just in front of today's rival Withabitofluk.

God Of Thunder
Rated 76 on AW (two wins in Britain); remote sixth in strong maiden on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse; another fair effort when eighth of 20 at Naas since; probably wants further but better ground and tongue-tie could help.

Made a pleasing debut for Arthur Moore in the Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown Aril last April; not as good when a remote third at the same venue on second start; made little impression on hurdling/stable debut at Naas in January.
