In fine form early last year with back-to-back soft-ground wins in a rated chase at this venue and a Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); moderate fifth over hurdles on seasonal return; next two chase starts were uninspiring; kept on well for second over 2m6f here five weeks ago; this trip could help to bring out the best in him.

In fine form over fences when last seen early this year with back to back wins at Punchestown (22.5f, soft) and a novice chase here in February (3m2f, soft); has won over timber and conditions fine for return; big chance if fit in first-time tongue tie.

Won 3m Listowel maiden hurdle in September 2023; respectable chase debut when third in Ballinrobe beginners' (23.5f, soft) in August; good deal to find on figures but stable have won this race twice in the last three years.

Good ground maiden hurdle winner is 0-2 over the bigger obstacles; best effort yet in this sphere on latest when a 1l second of four in a novice at Fairyhouse (3m2f, soft); should strip fitter now and she'll enjoy this quicker ground, though her lack of experience is a worry on handicap chase debut.

Form & Verdict
Won a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) last May; finished remote third of 17 in 24.5f handicap chase at Leopardstown in December; this is easier but he needs to brush up in the jumping department and his best form is on better ground.

Gifted a 2m4f Uttoxeter race two starts back (soft), and 3m was clearly too far last time; not wholly convincing, but his one win on merit came at this time of year in 2024 on good (2m4f); tongue-tie added.

Ex-Irish 7yo; well held in his first three runs for Dan Skelton and he was around 17l down when he was gifted a race here (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; this is a deeper contest and he has work to do to back up in trip.

Well treated on best Irish form but has rather lost his way, latterly for new stable; best watched unless the market suggests a resurgent display is likely.

Form & Verdict
1-8 over fences, that being a 2m7f Clonmel beginners' last June on good ground; went close at Wexford on her next start but has shown jumping frailties on her last four starts; others appeal more.
