Below form when tailed off at Fairyhouse earlier this month but shaped with promise previously in beginners'/novice company; return to further and better ground both fine; should give a good account on handicap chase debut.

A fairly consistent sort who ran another big race behind a very well handicapped rival when runner-up in a competitive 16-runner Leopardstown handicap last month; went close over this C&D in November and this is a bit easier than some of his recent assignments.

Good strike-rate of 4-11 over fences and 7-22 overall rattling off a remarkable seven-timer last season; signs he's high in the weights over both hurdles and fences so far this season and the handicapper has been slow to relent.
