Last summer's Galway Plate winner has posted better RPR's in defeat in finishing second in Grade 2 at Down Royal and here at Christmas when staying-on third in 3m Paddy Power Handicap; not sure he wants ground this soft but respected. |

Yet to win over fences but placed four times; potentially well handicapped on his best form, namely a flattering 5l second behind subsequent Galway Plate winner Pinkerton at Tipperary in April; this is a winnable contest but he comes with risks attached. |

Three-time winner on the Flat; one win over hurdles; 0-9 over fences but placed four times; solid third in Clonmel claiming hurdle latest (in front of Gino Drummer Boy conceding 12lb); his experience over fences should count for a lot here and he's respected. |

0-11 under Rules; didn't show much until his handicap chase debut at Limerick in May (2m6f, good to firm) when he was beaten just 0.5L off 102; no impact off 4lb higher at Clonmel (2m4f, good) and then pulled up over hurdles at Roscommon early last month; tongue tie back on; needs to rediscover his Limerick form. |

Maiden was runner-up over fences at Limerick to an improved rival but was poor at Clonmel since in cheekpieces; however, is rated 16lb lower in this sphere and has to be taken seriously. |
