Won twice over hurdles early last season, including over 2m4f at this venue; picked up an injury over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; produced in fine shape on chasing debut in 2m2f Galway festival event, making all to beat the experienced Midnight Run; capable of following up, despite the fact that his promising rider is unable to claim his allowance.

An 11yo who remains capable of running well on the Flat and he's been in good form over jumps, going close in the Grade 3 Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary before a respectable run in the Galway Hurdle; others are preferred but he can give his running.

Third-season novice, but now having only sixth run over fences; still held every chance when falling three out in the Grade 1 Drinmore at Fairyhouse last November; made an encouraging return when winning a Flat maiden at Ballinrobe in July; did not jump well when failing to get to grips with Enniskerry at Galway; stable in excellent form.

Put up a career best when runner-up in a Listed chase at Ballinrobe in May but blotted his copybook when refusing to race in a Grade 3 last time; new headgear combination now tried and while he's potentially risky, he also looks feasibly treated.
