Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last summer before losing his way; decent run at Dundalk last month off 8lb higher AW mark so has to be of interest back on the turf (stamina proven). |

The last of his six hurdle wins came at Perth in September 2024; a solid effort at Aintree in April over this trip but not as good over 2m at Bellewstown; tough task on these terms. |

Ran okay to be beaten about 10l at Aintree (behind Park Of Kings) and that was after a lengthy break; however, he's an exposed dual-purpose performer and others are more intriguing. |

It took him a while to get his head in front over hurdles but he hacked up in handicaps at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) and Tramore (2m, yielding) four days apart earlier this month; will need to progress again in this company but that's not impossible. |

Had a couple of decent runs in defeat in maiden hurdles in 2023; returned from a lengthy break when well behind at Galway (2m, good to yielding) but was a very easy victor of a Killarney handicap hurdle four days ago (2m1f, yielding); could have more to come carrying a 7lb penalty as long as this doesn't come too quickly. |

Point runner-up who is one to watch in the market in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) on his chase debut; however, this 11yo has been pulled up over hurdles on his last two runs and a major turnaround is needed. |
