Two time hurdle winner at Downpatrick is 0-6 over fences; fine effort in a beginners' chase at Tipperary early last month (third has won since off 101); well behind Sargent Lightfoot at Punchestown on penultimate start; makes his handicap chase debut off 105 and has to be considered after his last run; tongue tie and cheekpieces retained.

Decent sort at his best, career-best performance when close second in last season's 2m5f Topham at Aintree; very lightly raced this season, most recently running well for long way in same event before fading from last; type who could go well here if taking to the banks (won only point-to-point).

Well below his best on both runs this season, the latest at Leopardstown in December; however, he produced a career-best performance when a close second in this 12 months ago (good to soft), pulling clear with Gentleman De Mee, and the return to Aintree could spark a revival; on the shortlist.
