Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary in May last year; secured fourth hurdles win at Listed level here in October (2m5f, yielding); Grade 1 level proved a bridge too far at Aintree last month; top-rated of these over hurdles; definite chance.

Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary last May, last time securing a fourth career win at Listed level at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) in October; has earned his right to a crack at something better but this might be a step too far, especially with stamina to prove.

Won back-to-back handicaps at Cork (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in August/October; tailed off in a Punchestown novice handicap next time (2m1f, soft to heavy); not too bad at Cork last month when eighth of 19 (2m3f, yielding); could build on that and this ground is what he wants.

Underwhelming in opening three handicap starts, but was well backed at Downpatrick in August and landed the odds (2m2f, good); ran well off revised mark back there over the same distance when third; stepped up in trip at Clonmel last time and was sent off favourite again but didn't get past the second; should be thereabouts with a clear round.
