Dual hurdle and three-time chase winner when based in Ireland; makes stable debut from a workable mark and will find this easier than Punchestown festival hurdle he contested in April but has fitness to prove and would appeal much more on soft/heavy ground.

Form & Verdict
Shade frustrating 109-rated maiden hurdler but was running well in handicaps over the summer when last seen; half-brother to a useful chaser so fences could be the making of him but not sure if he'll be cherry ripe after five months' absence; market should be a good guide in a race which may not take too much winning.

Often backed and was pretty costly to follow; travels well but can find little and latest chasing flop a big concern (mistakes); risky; in-form rider eye-catching, 2-9 chasing; 1lb out of handicap; illustrated fine yard form with 10s maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse yesterday; participation must be in doubt but the one to beat on that evidence.
