Handicap chase winner at Tramore in April and improved on that when second in a Clonmel handicap chase last month; back over hurdles here off a 4lb lower mark and likely to be thereabouts in a winnable race. |

Not all that far behind his stable companion Itwasfate when the second-string at Wexford latest, but meets on worse terms and has a tough task on hand to reverse the form; again the stable's number two and will do well to bag the top step. |

No wins over fences since a beginners' at Tramore last year and now 1-14 in chases; running okay in defeat over timber of late and his mark is fine back in this sphere but his best form is over further than this. |

Placed over hurdles; made a winning start over fences in a 2m4f beginners' event at this venue in January; another good display when second in a 2m handicap at Clonmel at February; a long way below his best in four subsequent runs; may need this run to rebuild confidence. |

Worrying that he ran so moderately on his only previous chase start (at Downpatrick in May) but he's undeniably well handicapped off 95 after winning two handicap hurdles since then off 102 (2m/2m1f); has a bit to prove over this far but a danger to all if finding some rhythm. |
