Bagged two wins over hurdles last year, including one around here; has made a reasonably good start over fences, reaching the frame on last two starts from three runs so far in this sphere; not entirely convinced by stamina, but today's trip could well be a happy medium and has a lot more to bring to the table than most.

Form & Verdict
Gained a first chase win for former yard in Britain in February; new yard and two big runs in defeat over timber before getting his head back in front over fences at Tramore last month; 9lb higher but would have won by further without a bad mistake at the last and bold bid expected.

Consistent sort who has hit the frame in five of his six chase starts this year; still well treated on his hurdle form and he's versatile with regards to ground; looks capable of having a big say.
