Stable stalwart not getting any better at this stage, but solid hurdling form last two completions, when beaten 10l in the Stayers' at Cheltenham and a similar distance in 24-runner Punchestown festival handicap; won a pair of conditions hurdles at Thurles last year; best going this way around and genuine good ground would see him in with a big shout.

Has been a fantastic standard-bearer for his yard, winning 12 races between hurdles and fences including the King George in 2023; hasn't been at that level in the last year but ran respectably in the Stayers' Hurdle; has to bounce back from a poor Aintree run.

Career highlight when winning the King George over fences at Kempton in December 2023; won two conditions hurdles last year; gave it a very good go from the front when seventh in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month following wind surgery but this 11yo is probably vulnerable once more.

Prolific winner over hurdles (rated 144); did okay over fences last year and was fair third over 3m2f on his return to action at Killarney; stays 3m well, so this trip looks too short, plus he was disappointing when favourite for last year's Mayo National.

Bold show when seventh in this race in 2023 but he did not take to it so well when ninth last year; impressive in a French cross-country race in September but has not shone since, particularly back in France last Saturday, and he lacked any finishing punch when seventh in the Cheltenham cross-country; 13yo but the handicapper is showing very few concessions for his age.
