Won the Boodles at Cheltenham for Gordon Elliott last year; lost his form after and changed hands for 50,000euros in February; poor over hurdles at Killarney in May on stable debut; made mistakes and fell three out in a 2m contest on chase debut; premature to write off but risky at present.

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Cian Collins

Better over fences; stays 2m5f; had wind surgery prior to the latest Cheltenham Festival (2m, good) where he very nearly recorded a second success in the Grand Annual; not guaranteed to transfer the form back to hurdles but he is attractively treated off a much lower mark in this sphere.

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Cian Collins

8lb higher than when winning this last year (good to soft) and his subsequent form (chiefly over hurdles) hasn't been at the same level; however, he's had a wind op since last time and his 2-2 record at the Cheltenham Festival (also won the Fred Winter in 2023) means he's firmly in calculations.

Five-time winner, including wins in the Fred Winter and last season's Grand Annual; generally below since, beaten 26l in the Galway Plate; respectable effort back over hurdles at Cheltenham last time when a 12.5l fifth of 20; took the runner-up spot in this race last year from 1lb lower, so not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Three-time Flat winner; 0-15 over hurdles, but positives can be taken from his first three chase attempts, making the frame in races at Down Royal, Kilbeggan and Clonmel; 2m7f was possibly too far last time, this may be close to his optimum trip.
