Tried hard to justify favourite's tag in a beginners chase here latest; good second also here on last start over hurdles; tongue-tie won't need to bring about a whole lot of improvement in order for her to add to sole win (2021); should give another good account.

0-6 in points and 0-7 over hurdles before he got off the mark in a Tipperary handicap (3m, good to yielding) in May last time; cheekpieces get the call-up but he's made serious advances on last two outings and would be set for a bold show granted further improvement.
