Smart chaser who put in two promising efforts when runner-up in the Red Rum at Aintree and a competitive handicap at Punchestown behind Plate winner Pinkerton; well held behind that rival four days ago but has leading claims back down to a more suitable trip.

His main claim to fame is beating none other than Galopin Des Champs in a novice hurdle at Gowran two years ago; their respective careers have subsequently headed in very different directions and, while he fared respectably in some decent handicaps last season, his recent chase debut at Navan was fairly forgettable (at 28-1); this looks no easier.
