Very well handicapped on old form for Willie Mullins; nothing to shout about in first four runs for this yard but there was some encouragement last time, despite beating just one home, when third at Hereford (2m, good) 12 days ago; big danger if he builds on that from a career-low mark. |

11st 2lb |
Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come. |

Pulled up in Ascot handicap in November and tailed off on sole outing since in the Champion Chase last month; it's hard to say what sort of form he's in but this C&D brought out the very best in him when runner-up in the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase (good) 12 months ago; could go well back here. |

Lacked fluency and ran poorly at Ascot when last seen; ran creditably in C&D handicap the time before but that form is a long way below Champion Chase standard and he's comfortably held by Majborough on Punchestown festival running; has the worst chance on ratings. |
