Veteran is a three-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D on testing ground off 111 in March last year; 2lb higher now and has been mostly out of form since but he'll get his preferred underfoot conditions here; can't be dismissed.

Former useful hurdler, winning four times in all and capable of good form, marks in the mid-130s when at his peak; down a long way in the ratings now; managed a good run when 9l second in a veterans' handicap chase here last month; fair sixth at Navan ten days ago, but others are better suited by these race conditions.

Form & Verdict
Bidding to make it 6-40 in his career and often placed, as when running into one at Thurles latest (40s so may well have needed the run); rock-solid form claims but a concern he never won over beyond 2m4f.
