Failed to add to his tally last season; fair effort in third behind a stablemate at the Punchestown festival and has Paul Townend's assistance; however, none of his three chase wins have been in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Veteran won this race in 2022 and second to Longhouse Poet last year before winning 3m3f cross-country event at Compiegne in November on heavy; never sighted on New Year's Day at Tramore but this more galloping track and conditions more in his favour although this appears a strong renewal and has to concede weight.

Bold show when seventh in this race in 2023 but he did not take to it so well when ninth last year; impressive in a French cross-country race in September but has not shone since, particularly back in France last Saturday, and he lacked any finishing punch when seventh in the Cheltenham cross-country; 13yo but the handicapper is showing very few concessions for his age.

Pulled up after mistakes at Leopardstown last month, having previously looked progressive in winning Thurles Listed contest and when second in Grade 3 at Tramore; big player here if jumping holds up and he stays this longer trip.

Hasn't been at his best since winning last year's Grade 2 Red Mills at Gowran but a couple of subsequent runs read well, especially in the context of today's easier assignment; unlikely to be far away; any rain welcomed.

Grade 2 chase winner was poor at Tramore on New Year's Day but was much better when third to a stablemate at Gowran last time; has to give away plenty of weight but is still the one to beat with a top rider aboard; hasn't won over this trip but looks likely to stay.

Form & Verdict
Both chase wins have been at 2m including handicap here last season; third in 3m2f Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse last season his standout run, tame enough comeback run at Leopardstown recently suggests he has a lot on his plate here.
