Won Gowran beginners' chase last season before being pulled-up in the Irish National; back to form on seasonal return when second in 2m5f Navan Listed handicap but two disappointing runs since and now reverts to hurdles off 14lb lower mark so has to be respected.

Lightly raced but already a better chaser than hurdler, two wins coming over 2m4f at Wexford, most recently showing good attitude back in October on good-to-yielding; absent since but conditions to suit and likely more to offer.

One of two for trainer; built on a creditable third at Kilbeggan on chasing debut to win a beginners' over C&D in July (good); struggled upon entering handicap chase company back at Kilbeggan when upped in trip (3m2f, good to yielding); return to here may see him to best effect.

Won a hunter chase last May (on good ground) and probably wasn't in love with the heavy surface (has won on yielding to soft) when tailed off behind Con's Roc at Fairyhouse in November in his latest hunter chase; has since run well behind a prolific pointer; only a 6yo but this race looks too tough.

Little about his maiden point efforts presaged the huge personal best of last month's Down Royal hunter chase win (2m7f, good; RPR 133), though as a sibling of Aintree Foxhunters' second Jet Plane and prolific mare Found On he might always have made a chaser; player if backing that up.
