Bounced back to form when runner-up at Wexford in March but struggled twice since; not easy to predict and probably needs a career best chase effort to land this off joint-topweight.

10-time winner, just one over fences and has been hit and miss in this sphere; decent second in a handicap chase at Wexford followed by a sub-standard effort in a 3m handicap at the festival here; best horse in the race and has a chance but just that bit vulnerable these days.

Third in 2020 Champion Hurdle; back to form over hurdles at a much lower level last year, winning three in a row in conditions races; outclassed in the Hatton's Grace in December; won on chase debut here in 2020 and was very highly tried as a novice, but never seemed to relish it; may have needed Wexford run, his first over fences for a long time; interesting.
