Form & Verdict
Some Irish form under rules reads well but it was in the 2020-21 season and he never won in that sphere; 4-7 in points, thanks largely to a hat-trick in March 2022 but he also scored at Milborne St Andrew six weeks ago after a long absence and that win came by 10l; the one to beat.

Point winner in February before outclassing his sole rival in a hunter chase at Exeter (3m, good); 50-1 and ran accordingly at Cheltenham's recent hunter chase meeting; at least he's in some sort of form and should make presence felt.
