Placed in three of his last five chase starts, most recently when third behind Munster National hopeful Pride Of Place at Listowel; stays well and is likely to be competitive. |

Rebounded from fall at Punchestown with a 6.25l third at Killarney (behind Jeu De Pic); remains 8lb above last chase win and may be in the handicapper's grip right now but still has a place chance. |
