Well-bred, pricey store horse, costing 230,000euros as a 3yo; didn't jump well but showed some ability when 4th in a maiden hurdle at this track almost a year ago behind some quality rivals; his absence since is a concern but has the ability to win this if all is well.

Seven career wins capped by 2m1f Listed handicap chase win at Fairyhouse last November; recent Kilbeggan runs over longer trips well below best, but yard has returned to form so could improve for this drop in trip, although yard have a more obvious contender in Gaelic Arc.
