Yet to score on the Flat, best effort when runner-up in last season's November Handicap; two wins over hurdles this year and most recently finished a decent sixth in a very valuable Punchestown festival handicap hurdle; champion jockey booked and likely to have a leading chance; handles all ground.

Dual bumper winner; useful placed form including third at this venue last August and second at Ballinrobe in May, well clear of the remainder; sent off 1-4 favourite at Wexford last time but the outcome was still in doubt when he fell in the lead two out; should make amends.
