Won heavy-ground Irish maiden in early 2023 but struggled in three British handicaps for new stable last month; swaps usual hood for first-time cheekpieces here; leap of faith required to support him. |

In good form under both codes recently; 3lb outside the weights at Leopardstown but took the third spot (3m, soft); backed that up when runner-up in a Clonmel novice handicap chase last month (3m, soft); withdrawn due to unsuitable good ground at Down Royal last time, so conditions a question. |

Given a very positive ride by Carl Millar when winning on first start for new yard at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in June; given too much to do when respectable fourth at that venue last time from 6lb higher; he has won around here in the past and Millar is back aboard now; big player. |

Useful in 2m-2m6f novice hurdles last term, recording RPRs of 140 on three occasions; has not taken to chasing at all well this season, soundly beaten three times, and was sold from Gordon Elliott for 50,000euros in February; may be revived by a change of scenery and the return to hurdling, but he's something of a risky proposition in his first handicap. |
