Form & Verdict
Suffered three consecutive falls at one stage last season; confidence restored this term; made the most of a good opportunity in a rated chase at Punchestown; probably needs one or more of the main players to run below par in order to win here.

Form & Verdict
Good novice hurdler who went close in the second of two Grade 2 clashes with Flame Bearer last season; jumped well when making all to beat the subsequent Leopardstown Chase winner The Goffer in a beginners' chase win at Fairyhouse in December; deserted by Paul Townend now after a Punchestown Grade 3 failure.
