Best effort over hurdles was on penultimate in a course maiden (17.5f, good) when third of 12; never a factor in Galway handicap last time; looks a tough opening mark on chase debut; local yard so watch the betting.

Not disgraced in first two bumpers and was heavily backed for his hurdles debut at Sligo in July but never looked like justifying that market support; likely capable of better but comes with risks attached now.

Hadn't been asked for maximum effort and held every chance when brought down at the last by shorter-priced stablemate at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) 25 days ago; bred to appreciate this longer trip and could gain compensation.
