Won over fences last time at Wexford (2m3f); dual hurdle winner and has posted some smart form in this sphere over shorter; has a chance if getting back to best hurdle form and staying this trip.

T: Henry De Bromhead

Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground.

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.
