Dual Grade 2 novice hurdle winner for Pat Doyle last season, runner-up to State Man in Punchestown Grade 1; beaten odds-on favourite on chase/yard debut over 2m4f at Naas in November; faced no meaningful opposition when winning at Fairyhouse; put a blot on his record with a poor round of jumping in Grade 1 Leopardstown event won by stablemate El Fabiolo. |

Had been struggling this winter but definite step back in the right direction at Naas last time when only beaten 2l; will relish the longer trip and he acts on this ground. |

Put up a career best when runner-up in a Listed chase at Ballinrobe in May but blotted his copybook when refusing to race in a Grade 3 last time; new headgear combination now tried and while he's potentially risky, he also looks feasibly treated. |

Grade 3-winning novice chaser; disappointed last season and the return to hurdling this summer hasn't brought about improvement; tumbling mark but has plenty of questions to answer. |

Grade 3 winning novice chaser but well below best in light campaign last term; back hurdling for first time in over two years when soon fading out of it at Listowel last month; questions to answer but remains of interest off this mark. |

Made all on chase debut (2m2f) in late 2022 before losing form; back near best on seasonal debut when second on heavy ground at Limerick; made a lot of the running when second to Ain't That A Shame in the Thyestes; poor run in a Cheltenham festival handicap, weakening when unseated at 27th in Grand National. |

Made all on chase debut (2m2f) in late 2022 and recovered his form when second on heavy ground at Limerick (2m3f) and Gowran Park (3m1f Thyestes won by Ain't That A Shame; made most) on first two starts this season; weakened right out of it at Cheltenham (2m4f) latest but the Thyestes run means he needs a second look. |
