Last of two chase wins came in 2m6f Galway Blazers in 2023 off this mark; interrupted campaign in recent years, pulled up on three of last four starts including in Mayo National last time; hard to make a case for on recent evidence.

Seemingly unsuited by worse than good to soft; Tramore maiden winner over 2m in April; improved when taking minor honours in his three handicaps in July-September (up to 2m6f) and not discredited when runner-up to a warm favourite back in a novice on latest outing; considered.

Showed some ability in bumpers before getting off the mark on hurdling debut in a fairly weak 2m4f maiden at Sligo; beaten 4l in fourth behind Desertmore House at Listowel; 5lb better off so could go close in theory, but winner may again have his measure.

Former point winner; failed to win a bumper in seven attempts when ridden by his previous owner; has looked a different proposition since going up in trip and switched to hurdling; backed up a Downpatrick maiden win (beat Friday's Gowran winner Wee Willie Nail by 13l) in a conditions event at the same venue; looks capable of further progress.
