Dual-purpose veteran won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April on soft to heavy; last of 8 on first run since on the level at Tramore (2m, good); is 4lb lower than last Flat success but softer ground would be preferable. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |
