Three-time chase winner who is potentially well handicapped; early mistakes had him on the back foot when returning from an absence at Tipperary and 2m was plenty sharp enough for one who has won over 3m; hard to rule out.

Exaggerated hold-up tactics the norm with this horse and he has been mostly frustrating, most recently flattering briefly run-in but no match for a decisive winner at Naas in January; back from a break and while can never be ruled out, hard to be confident in all the same.
