Likes it soft/heavy and twice runner-up here last season; very encouraging Roscommon comeback run last month, going well when unseating rider three from home and could play a major role if avoiding serious error.

Form & Verdict
Recorded back-to-back in handicap hurdle wins in 2021 but 0-8 chasing and hasn't looked a natural jumper, including when modest enough fourth here over 2m2f last month; faller back hurdling on latest and hard to be confident in.

Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe but ordinary hurdles form; proving a better chaser, off the mark at third attempt in first-time cheekpieces at Downpatrick early this month, clear between the final two fences then scoring with a diminishing margin over 2m3f; greater stamina test here on handicap debut but going the right way.
