All three hunter chase wins have come at Downpatrick, including a repeat of last year's victory in 3m5f contest just 10 days ago; trainer admits he's a different horse at that track, which renders him opposable here.

Twice runner-up in hunter chases last season; beaten favourite both times; beat a subsequent winner handily in a maiden point in February; had little trouble justifying favouritism in a maiden hunter chase at Downpatrick; smart long-term prospect, this may come a year too soon.

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.
