11st 6lb |
Five-time winner under rules (three over hurdles); took second behind progressive rival on return from 87-day break at Punchestown in October (2m7f, good to yielding); another positive run when third over fences last time at Down Royal (3m, good to yielding); consistent sort but there may be better handicapped contenders. |

2-9 over fences and was lots to like about his return from an 87-day break in a Punchestown handicap hurdle 18 days ago; the forecast rain is a concern but he's big player on return to chasing if it misses. |
