14yo veteran best known for his exploits over the banks at Punchestown; won a nice pot there in May over 4m1f; stayed on well for fifth over 3m1f at Kilbeggan in a handicap chase last month; will strip fitter for that and can't be written off, but he remains 7lb above his last winning mark; place claims. |

Best of his runs on heavy was his win in a maiden hurdle in 2020; fell in the 2022 Topham over these fences; won a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) in November, having come a cropper on two earlier attempts at that course, but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another major career best. |
