Steadily progressive since upped in trip, winning 2m3f maiden here before considerably better form in 3m Albert Bartlett last month, only conceding second late on to Fruit De Mer having led at the last; handles this better ground and easier finish could suit.

Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected.

Inconsistent since opening chase account in a beginners' at Naas in December (2m4f, heavy); ran well when a 5.75l fourth of 14 in a valuable handicap at Punchestown in February but pulled up at Cheltenham on latest; capable of better and preferred by Jack Kennedy.

Inconsistent in this novice campaign but ran well when fourth of 14 at Punchestown (3m3f, heavy) last month and that performance can be upgraded, as he was outpaced in the straight in that slowly run race but rallied strongly in the closing stages; it's almost certain there will be a better gallop here and he could be seen to very good effect up the Cheltenham hill.
