Close third in sole start in Irish points; well beaten in three hurdles early this year but they were far more demanding than this; makes his debut for Emmet Mullins and keen eye on the market needed.

T: Emmet Mullins

Half-brother to very smart Chatham Street Lad; odds-on when unbeaten for Emmet Mullins in a maiden at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft), novice handicap at Bangor (2m7f, good) and eight-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft); the jockey moved a little more last time but this 5yo has basically been breezing through those races before winning with great authority and even today's 14lb rise might not have his measure.

Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question.

Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record.

Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark.
