T: Gordon Elliott

Placed in a couple of points; 1-16 over hurdles and rated 119 in that sphere; however, was pulled up in successive races at Galway and Killarney when last seen last August and while there's a good chance he'll make a chaser on breeding, he's tended to need his comeback runs in the past.

Won over 2m6f at Down Royal off 110 in April and backed that up with some good runs in defeat; bounced back from a poor run at Punchestown to finish second of 15 at Bellewstown in July (24.5f, good); needs to again bounce back after being pulled up at Galway earlier this month (24.5f, soft); can't be totally ruled out.
