Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground.

Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here.

Useful track performer at best with 3-4 record in points since last October; capable of better than he showed when fourth in a hunter chase run at Thurles in January; subsequently beat record-breaking pointer Winged Leader at Nenagh, with Whacker Clan a distant third; sights lowered after Cheltenham Festival bid.

Only an 8yo; he'll need to run better than when 17l fourth behind Panda Boy at Thurles in January but the market expected better of him and in his subsequent point he beat Winged Leader, who nearly won this in 2022; there are stamina queries over this far but his trainer has won this three times, so he knows what's required; first-time visor; seems able on all ground.
