Flat and hurdle winner ran a cracker on return over 2m4f here, his fourth chase start; can improve from that and is a major player if staying this trip, though he is Flat-bred so there's a doubt. |

Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix. |

Hasn't run over hurdles since late 2024; after nine months off, gained second Downpatrick chase win last July, so latest layoff not a concern and he's 15lb lower in this sphere. |
