Can jump right; two fair efforts over fences since the spring, including at 2m4f (good), with another one over hurdles in between; not obviously ahead of his mark but adding a tongue-tie could help.

Only beaten about 1l when third of four on chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in March, despite a tendency to jump right, and reverts to fences after perfectly respectable 2m hurdle run last month; still unexposed in this sphere and current mark is workable; must be considered.

Won his sole Irish point (good to yielding) last March; was brought down 3f out when odds-on for rules debut at Kelso in November but he returned from a short break with a strong-finishing win there (good) in February; that was a narrow success and this is tougher under a penalty but he's respected.
