Irish raider who had been hurdling before a successful return to fences over 3m at Fairyhouse last time (heavy), having dug deep to make it 3-8 in this discipline; does seem to have a penchant for deep ground so that's the concern. |

Two wins from seven starts over fences including here in January last year (3m2f, soft) off 95; returns to chasing after three hurdle runs from a much lower mark, two of them tailed off but the middle one at Limerick (2m5f, soft to heavy) was positive when a 5.25l fifth. |

Started off for Kerry Lee with two pretty good thirds in early part of last season, the latter over C&D on good ground, but was pulled up in refitted cheekpieces (retained) on next two outings and it's hard to know what to expect from him after a 200-day absence. |
