Second runner for yard; useful dual-purpose sort scored sole Flat win over 1m4f at this track in 2022; mostly jumping since and won a Thurles Grade 3 novice chase in March before a fine Punchestown fourth; respected back on the level.

Two-time hurdle winner is 0-3 over the bigger obstacles; didn't run too badly in last two beginners chases on good to yielding at Killarney (2m1f) and Galway (2m2f); makes his handicap chase debut now off 123 and this looks a big ask; may need more experience in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced and showed what he was capable of when landing a very competitive novice handicap here at Christmas; 12lb penalty to contend with but very unlikely that we have seen the best of him.

Won a novice handicap at the 2023 Christmas fixture at Leopardstown; kept good company over fences last season; made a pleasing return to hurdling on seasonal return at Galway when a close third (2m6f, yielding); well backed in a Fairyhouse Listed handicap when last seen in November; fell at the final flight when 1l ahead; up 3lb for that but considered.

Sole win came at 2m, has form over further but not this far; jumping was a let down over fences last term and returns to hurdles here; others preferred given stamina doubts.

Decent winning hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere; similar efforts in defeat in two novice chases this term behind quality rivals and will have to do much more to score today.
