Dual hurdles winner was just denied in 2m7f Naas handicap in February before a solid effort in the Pertemps at the Cheltenham Festival; was last seen finishing mid-division at Punchestown on final start for Gordon Elliott; stable debut in new headgear combination; watching brief.

Dual hurdle winner was just denied in a Naas handicap two starts back; then ran a solid race in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; looks the yard's first-string but needs more.

Second here (on good) early as novice but tailed off in the Martin Pipe last March; better over this sort of trip and surged back to form when a close second to Melbourne Shamrock in the Naas qualifier (2m7f, heavy) 18 days ago in a second-time visor, staying on strongly from off pace; requires better to justify this British mark but needs a second look for trainer who's done well in this race.

Two wins last term on good ground included 2m6f Thurles novice; never sighted on Fairyhouse comeback but did fare a bit better early this month at DRF on unsuitably heavy ground; ground concerns remain.
