Hurdle winner on yielding; lightly raced 7yo who was made favourite but was pulled up in the 2m5f Coral Cup in 2022; off the track for 22 months after but has made a convincing switch to fences this winter and strode clear in good style at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) 26 days ago; this race is a big step up but he is a more likely improver than many.

Career with Willie Mullins took a long time to catch fire but it's done so this season and he looked set for victory in the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January when unseating at the final fence; pulled up behind Grangeclare West last time but back catalogue includes a creditable sixth in the Scottish National and fourth in bet365 Cup at Sandown, so he stays long distances; his revised mark since the Thyestes would be the chief worry.

Maiden hurdle and two-time point winner (including on heavy ground) who was runner-up in a hunter chase at Warwick (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; that performance reads well in today's context and he's a key player in first-time cheekpieces.
