10st 6lb |
Stays a lot farther and needs good ground; some good runs in defeat around Cheltenham and when second to Perceval Legallois in 2024 Paddy Power at Leopardstown; second off much lower hurdles mark in November, but moderate form since; reckon this track will be plenty sharp for him. |

Rated 19lb higher over fences but lost his form in that sphere; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on last two runs over timber and may need quicker ground than this. |

Veteran has enjoyed a new lease of life this year, winning three of his five races (all over hurdles) between June and September; poor display at Listowel when race may have come too soon after Ballinrobe win; has limited chasing experience; did not jump well here late last month, well held by Toofareastiswest on that running. |
