Only one win from 13 starts over fences; best of the Irish contingent when fourth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham last November (2m4f, soft); runner-up on his last three starts, though no match for the winner in valuable handicaps at Punchestown and Ballinrobe; should be therabouts again on the evidence of a narrow defeat in the Galway Plate.

Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed.
