Much improved sent chasing last season, winning twice (including here); sent off favourite over hurdles at Thurles and fences at Leopardstown when below best; again couldn't take advantage of significantly lower hurdles mark here last time (2m1f, yielding) when tailed off; attractive mark but clearly risky.
