Stays much further but handled drop back to 2m when landing Naas handicap hurdle in December (soft to heavy); second past the post at Thurles early last month, disqualified after his rider weighed in light; leading and appeared set to win when falling at the last at the same venue three weeks ago; raised 4lb; could be hard to beat.

A 130-rated hurdler having won a Cork maiden and been a close fourth in a Punchestown Grade 2 last term; came up against a smart on chasing debut at latter track, more encouraging Fairyhouse effort last month when fourth under a positive ride; nearly 3l to find with McLaurey on that run so more needed.
