Useful chasing campaign last season returned three wins from seven starts; not at his best in a Newbury Grade 2 last November or in Aintree Grade 1 in April; 140 hurdles rating puts him 8lb behind Bowensfire. might be more effective than his stablemate on this ground. |

Won three of first five races over fences, including a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, but has made mistakes and run poorly at Cheltenham and Newbury since; perhaps he'll be revived by a break and cheekpieces, but he has plenty to find on the figures. |

Grade 2-winning hurdler got off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking when landing standard Cork beginners' (2m1f, yielding) 11 days ago, doing it from the front; won't be allowed to dictate things here but opening mark is fair and is another worthy of respect for the Mullins stable. |

Made all at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day on fourth chase start and his good form has continued when third on both runs since (2m4f, soft/good to soft); this drop back in trip is worth a go and further improvement is possible, but he needs to be better than ever from 4lb wrong. |
