In terrific form of late, winning a Roscommon beginners, a Tramore novice chase and reverted back to hurdles to win a Kilbeggan handicap two weeks ago; up 7lb but a tough horse that doesn't know when he's beaten and should go well once again. |

Has been mixing chasing and hurdling recently to no avail; beaten 35l in a handicap chase at Clonmel latest; beaten 27l over hurdles at Roscommon previously; however, he did shape nicely when fourth here in June off 91 and he could sneak a place with a repeat of that off 3lb lower. |

Won over 1m4f at Dundalk in February, 2m2f in the Chester Plate in May and 2m in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle in June; another 6lb higher today; not so good on either start since that hat-trick but latterly he came from well off the pace when eighth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch 13 days ago and was 66-1 in that; could be a lot more interesting this time. |
