Likes a stamina test, most recent win coming in 3m Listowel handicap hurdle over a year ago (soft) off 117; back from chasing when soundly beaten in repeat win attempt there last month so has it to prove now.

Reverts from chasing in a bid to repeat last year's win in this event; only 2lb higher; ground will suit him better than on recent chase starts; worth considering, though his much younger stablemate Bitofajokelike seems more appealing.

Last chase success was over three years ago at the 2022 Punchestown festival; getting on in years now; hard to be confident in the circumstances.

Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; last chase success was over three years ago and at 50-1 he finished well behind in the Killarney National a month ago; this isn't as demanding but this veteran would prefer softer ground.

10st 7lb

J: Conor McNamara

T: E McNamara

Two-time winning hurdler is 2-19 over fences; last win came over timber at Listowel last September off 117; remote second behind Big Debates when last seen in a Limerick handicap chase in December; 2lb lower now but veteran's best form is on easy ground; lacks a recent run; others appeal more.
