Dual winning hunter has taken well to handicaps and the form of his fluent-jumping Wexford win is very solid; second was only beaten 7l in the Plate and third almost won next time; stays farther, but might just prefer an easier finish than this punishing climb.

Progressive chaser but went up 10lb for winning a 2m4f Grade 3 in April and he came up short back in a handicap at Wexford, though still ran well and probably found the 2m3f trip sharp enough; each-way possibilities, though regular partner Darragh O'Keeffe has deserted him this time.

No win over fences since 2023 but is in good heart; beaten a neck at Kilbeggan (20.5, good) last month and beaten 15l into fifth in Galway Blazers eight days ago, may have made a better go of it but for being caught in a pocket between the final two fences; his third start in just over two weeks but chance if he doesn't feel the effects of that.
