Placed in both chase starts last year; second behind Downmexicoway at Killarney and a 5l third behind Birdie Or Bust at Listowel; 9-2 for handicap chase bow at Punchestown on seasonal return when fell early; probably the one to beat if that hasn't dented his confidence.

1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination.

Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come.

By far the most talented of these over hurdles (rated 140) and he jumped accurately before tiring on his chase debut at Kilbeggan over 2m4f; nowhere near as good dropped back to 2m (good) at Wexford on latest and questions to answer now.

Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start.

Winning pointer rated just 90 over hurdles but was an encouraging 6.5l third on his chase debut, keeping on over 2m4f (yielding) at Kilbeggan and earning an RPR of 117; weakened when upped to 25.5f back there latest and now drops markedly back in trip; this may be too sharp a test.
