Tailed off on his first two outings but produced a better effort when fourth of 16 at Thurles last month just in front of Mega Speculator; pedigree suggests this trip will help and one for the shortlist. |

Took a step forward when stepped up in trip at Punchestown on his penultimate outing, finishing fifth of 21 (beaten 27l); not as good on quicker ground dropped to 2m at this venue since; not ruled out if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect back up in trip. |

Heading in the right direction (RPRs 98, 104, and 115) since joining Stuart Edmunds, afforded the run of the race when an easy winner at Catterick (2m Class 4, soft; 9-2) latest; steps up in grade from an 8lb higher mark; a noteworthy candidate around this sharp track. |

A weak finisher in handicaps over 2m4f (good to soft) and 2m3f (soft) since trained in Britain but this free-going sound jumper shapes as though he will fare better now dropped to the shortest trip he's attempted; open to improvement. |

Generally consistent maiden went close in handicap hurdles this term; fell two out here in 2m handicap when still in the mix in February; narrowly beaten by well-backed Charles Byrnes runner in 2m beginners' chase here last week; stamina to prove on handicap chase bow. |

Back to something like his maiden hurdle form when second to King Kali in handicap hurdle at Limerick in December; third at same venue after; still in the mix when fell two out here over hurdles lto leaving Mount Frisco clear; unseated on only chase start last year; enjoys soft ground. |

Weakened over 2m4f on handicap bow at Cork; much better at Limerick in December when 3.5l runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (2m, heavy) under this rider; third at Limerick on latest; should be right in the mix again. |

Pulled up sole start in point-to-points; fifth in 2m bumpers at Punchestown and Naas on decent ground for Gavin Cromwell; there's plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he may need further than this; has a future but probably best watched on stable/hurdles debut. |

Point-to-point winner and did well on his handicap debut when a close fourth in a 2m4f contest at Punchestown last month; didn't quite see it out that day so the drop in trip could suit. |
