Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected.

Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic.

Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented.

Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here.

Dual hurdles winner is proving a better chaser, winning 2m2f Limerick novice and most recently career-best in landing 2m1f Navan handicap last month (soft-to-heavy) under today's rider; bit to find with Jigoro on earlier Gowran running but progressing and can be involved off 5lb higher.

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Limerick over Christmas in a novice contest (2m2f, soft to heavy); solid second over hurdles at Naas following that but poor next time; returned to fences at Gowran last time when weakened into an 8.25l fifth (2m, heavy); others preferred.

Form & Verdict
