Seven-time winner, last successful in a Listed 2m1f handicap chase at Fairyhouse in November; only bits and pieces of form since, a close third in a 3m1f conditions hurdle at Kilbeggan probably his best run; not dismissed, but others do arrive in better form.

Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here.

Dual hurdles winner is proving a better chaser, winning 2m2f Limerick novice and most recently career-best in landing 2m1f Navan handicap last month (soft-to-heavy) under today's rider; bit to find with Jigoro on earlier Gowran running but progressing and can be involved off 5lb higher.

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Limerick over Christmas in a novice contest (2m2f, soft to heavy); solid second over hurdles at Naas following that but poor next time; returned to fences at Gowran last time when weakened into an 8.25l fifth (2m, heavy); others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Beat the talented Found A Fifty (now a leading novice chaser) in a Navan bumper; hurdle runs have not matched that form, though twice set stiff tasks here, when creditable fourth in a conditions contest at 2022 Christmas fixture and on seasonal debut when friendless in the ring and never in the hunt in a four-runner event in October.
