11st 7lb |
Confirmed the promise of finishing runner-up at Limerick on seasonal return when winning at Listowel in September and may have found the ground too testing in two subsequent runs; trainer's runners often improve over the larger obstacles and she has each-way claims; yard's second-string. |

Developed behavioural issues (refusing to start in races at Clonmel and Laytown) after several placed efforts last season; fit from hurdling and shaped quite well at Cork on penultimate start; 73-rated gelding has four seconds to his name on turf; definite chance if coming out of the stalls with the others. |

2m5f maiden hurdle winner ran well upped to 3m for his handicap chase debut here when third (3m, soft to heavy); built on that to comfortably score at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) and took advantage of his lower hurdles mark here last time, winning by 4l (2m4f, heavy); he's 10lb higher than his Punchestown win but is towards the top of the shortlist. |

Not bred for stamina tests but ran well upped to 3m here on handicap chase debut when a 9l third; comfortably won over fences at Punchestown last month (2m7f, soft to heavy) and now rated 126 in that discipline; 2m5f maiden winner over hurdles and ran respectably only handicap start last year; leading contender in modest contest. |
