Sole win in 25 starts came at Cork (2m1f, good) a year ago; back on that mark but poor on last hurdles run at Punchestown and pulled up over fences here last month; capable but needs to shrug off latest effort.

Just 1-21 over hurdles; posted a decent effort on his second chase start at Tramore in May when running on well to take fourth of ten (2m6f, good); others preferred.

Only 1-21 over hurdles, the win coming on good ground at Wexford last summer (similar mark); did finish well held on chase debut in November and also in his subsequent run back hurdling.

Won 2m1f Cork handicap hurdle last summer on good ground; produced a couple of decent placed efforts after that, including third behind today's rival Hickey's Hill at Thurles; lacks a recent run but ground should suit; on a mark that gives him a fair chance.

Won 2m1f Cork handicap hurdle over the summer on good ground and couple of decent placed efforts since, latest here last month (2m, good-to-yielding); switches to fences here and stiff task from 7lb out of handicap.
