Three years since latest win in a Sligo handicap chase; not in great form lately although hurdling third at Roscommon in July was fair effort; blinkers tried. |

Twice a course winner; unsurprisingly struggled from 19lb out of the handicap over fences at Galway; possible he can feature now judged on his previous third behind Presenting Lad over hurdles at Roscommon; the winner has continued to perform well and beat Listentillitellyea at Ballinrobe last time. |

Useful Rules performer ran two decent races off 133 in Galway festival handicap chases last summer; won just one of his seven point-to-point starts this year, at Ballyraggett in March, but his fourth to Billaway, with Vaucelet in second, at Downpatrick is good form and obviously less to do in this company. |

1st Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Smart chaser when trained by Jessica Harrington in Ireland and well suited by good ground; unseated rider at fifth fence on last month's stable/hunter chase debut and his current ability remains tricky to gauge but he still features prominently in calculations. |

Proved above average over fences for Jessica Harrington, having bagged Grade 3 honours (over 2m) last term, and he ran well in Killarney handicap (2m4f) on most recent chase start; absent since a hurdles defeat in September and now makes debut for Alan King; major contender on ratings. |
