Form & Verdict
Won this race in 2021 and 10l runner-up to Son Of Hypnos last year; won a 2m5f handicap chase at Fairyhouse in January; absent since running over the banks at Punchestown in May; previous course form is an asset, but otherwise hard to fancy.

Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace.

Three hurdle wins; best effort this season was when just denied over fences at this track in July; not as good since and questions after being pulled-up on last two hurdle starts.
