Point winner easily won a Tipperary hunter chase in May last year; has been hit or miss since, but one of his better efforts came at Downpatrick last month when taking third (3m, good), making a mistake at two out; way below that level over hurdles at Limerick last time; return to fences should help.

Twice runner-up in hunter chases last season; beaten favourite both times; solid form behind his useful stablemate Asphalt Cowboy in this race 12 months ago before a less inspiring effort at Tipperary; beat a subsequent winner handily in a maiden point at Punchestown early last month; this looks like a suitable opportunity.
