J: Ben Harvey

T: Karl Thornton

Handicap hurdle winner here in January 2024 (3m, heavy); some good runs in defeat over fences last season, filling the frame in three of his four runs inc' here off 1lb higher (2m5f, soft to heavy); returned from just over a year off at Navan last time when never better than midfield and pulled up; can get involved if back to his best but a bit to prove now.

Won 3m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two seasons ago; showed signs of developing into a consistent handicap chaser last winter; off for a year but could feature if returning in peak form; arguably the most appealing of three runners for his trainer.
