He can make mistakes and was pulled up at Fairyhouse just 12 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he jumped to the left and returns to a left-handed track for the first time since his promising second on chase debut at Haydock (2m4f, soft); won 3m maiden hurdle here; interesting.

Narrowly denied in a Thurles bumper before he was dropped in at the deep end in the Champion Bumper, outrunning his odds to finish fifth of 19 (beaten 6l); that looked like a reasonable renewal and probably worth forgiving his Punchestown festival bumper flop subsequently; bred for further and the one to beat here; off 225 days.

The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer.
