Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside.

Gained his tenth success (and first for this stable) when taking a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kilbeggan a month ago; most recent chase run saw him finish second to Flash De Touzaine at Limerick on stable debut; good chance he can reverse that form and go close in the process.

One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in 11 starts but some decent efforts, notably C&D second at Christmas off 1lb lower (soft-to-heavy); none too fluent and faded tamely over 3m latest; can't rule out back at this track and ground okay (cheekpieces back on for blinkers).
