Career best when winning over timber at Gowran in January but came down 3 out when coming under pressure on chase debut; needs to take his form to a new level here.

Chasing debutant; point-to-point winner won a 24.5f handicap hurdle on testing ground here last month off 113 on his second start for this stable; put in a couple of iffy leaps in that contest but he's in good hands and the drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience him; place chance.

Won a point in January on his fourth start; not disgraced in a Navan maiden hurdle over 2m3f on stable/rules debut; proved his stamina when second at Cork; no match for the winner and now renews rivalry with Lough Owel who was 1/2l back in third
