Won handicap hurdle at Down Royal last March but inconsistent and has not made a serious impact with cheekpieces enlisted for his two runs for new yard; balance of form suggests he has work to do. |

Off the mark at the 15th attempt at Punchestown last month (2m4f, soft), making all and scoring by 0.5l; the runner-up, third and fifth have all won since; 8lb higher but should still make another bold bid. |

0-13 under rules and 0-4 over fences; however, travelled sweeter in the cheekpieces when second at Downpatrick last time (2m7f, good) and should have a part to play here. |

13yo veteran has won seven times over hurdles; mixing chasing and hurdling lately but hasn't looked like adding to his haul; however, he has won here before over shorter and he is 5lb below his last winning mark; not totally discounted but a revival is needed. |
