Better chaser than hurdler, rated 20lb lower in this sphere and just 1-18; might need this run with a view to going back over fences. |

11st 1lb |
Won over hurdles on stable debut in September and was third in valuable chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; struggled in heavy-ground hurdle last month but he's better than that and now returns to fences on a good mark; might be the answer. |

3m winner over fences in Ireland and made a winning debut for this yard over hurdles in September (2m5f, good to soft); his subsequent defeats, all over 3m and divided between hurdles and fences, suggest his current mark is on the high side. |

Two-time winner over hurdles and stays very well; chase form is more patchy; looked like being involved when unseating two out in a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown in March was probably his best effort; remote fourth in a beginners chase at Killarney last month; blinkers left off today. |

Has had six starts over fences and is rated 101; won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last December off 99 (2m7f, heavy); best chase effort a 5.75l fourth at Fairyhouse off 102 back in January; heavy ground suits and he's a contender in first-time blinkers. |
