Form & Verdict
One of two for yard; 1-9 over fences; won a Clonmel beginners last June (2m7f, good); ran a decent race here in a 3m handicap chase back in January (good to yielding); struggled both starts since (well behind Meyo latest) but testing ground not ideal; could rebound on this sounder surface.

Sole win a 20.5f beginners chase at Kilbeggan (good) last May; hasn't yet cut much ice in handicaps and was well beaten in a novice chase over this trip at Fairyhouse latest (behind Meyo), though soft ground wasn't ideal; could improve back on better ground and has run well at this venue before; interesting.
