Better chaser than hurdler, winning three of 20 chase starts; 0-10 over timber but is rated 17lb lower; winner of a Kilbeggan handicap chase in April (2m4f, yielding); unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark at that track last month when 17l fourth of 13 (18.5f, good); could be thereabouts. |

10st 2lb |
Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline. |
