Form & Verdict
Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler has also won twice over fences from 12 starts but jumping frailties have cost him at times; has been back over hurdles in the last year and won a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; solid effort in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham last time; should win if his jumping holds up back over fences.

Form & Verdict
Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences from 2m-2m7f on all types of ground; fine efforts in defeat in graded chase company the last twice and should run his race again; has a bit to find against his sole rival at these weights but could take advantage if that one doesn't run to his mark.

Competitively campaigned in the past year, often in small-field conditions race; third in the Kerry National and filled the same position in a Grade 2 at Down Royal; out of his depth in a 2m Grade 3 event at Naas before an excellent display in finishing second in the Troytown Chase.
