Won a Wexford handicap hurdle last summer off 78 (2m1f, good); bagged a handicap chase win at Tramore in May (2m6f, good); bounced back from a poor run at Wexford when third of 13 at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); reverts to hurdles now off a 12lb lower mark but was beaten 21l at Wexford when last seen in this sphere.

Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include at Tramore and most recently over 3m2f at Kilbeggan a week ago, winning handily; up 7lb for latest but in the form of his life and has to enter calculations.
