Form & Verdict
Returned from a seven-month absence to post a fine fourth at Thurles over a trip a little short of his optimum; ran out an easy winner of a veterans' chase at Limerick last week; mark had been declining, so extra 7lb should not be major issue, but this looks like a more competitive race.

Won back-to-back over fences either side of New Year and generally consistent since; beaten roughly 2l at Cork earlier this month and should be a big player back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up on his seasonal debut at Thurles; left that run far behind when bolting up at Punchestown, proving well suited by the test of stamina over an extended 3m; fair third off his revised mark at Limerick eight days ago; has solid form at this trip.

Was running a big race when falling at Leopardstown over 3m4f in May but didn't see out the 3m2f at Down Royal next time; drop in trip might help but typically needs a run so the absence is a worry.
