Won twice over hurdles and fences; latest win in handicap chase in November; rated 3lb lower over hurdles but beaten 36l on return in this sphere at Downpatrick 54 days ago; entitled to come on for that but very much needs to.

Form & Verdict
Came on from a low-key reappearance at this venue when bolting up by 16l in a beginners' at Tramore last week; new mark back in a handicap looks fair and probably still has the speed for this drop in trip.

Form & Verdict
Step back in the right direction when runner-up at Limerick last month when 5l in front of Name Me Famous; however, that rival was making his reappearance and he may not confirm the form; nudged up 1lb.

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.
