Won a bumper at this venue and only narrowly denied a third success over timber at Ballinrobe two runs ago; subsequent Flat run worth ignoring and he's feasibly treated; versatile with regards to conditions.

Form & Verdict
Graded placed on first two starts over fences and far from disgraced behind the classy Zanahiyr at Thurles; competitive enough seventh in a Punchestown handicap latest and experience and ability likely to come to the fore here; top rated RPR's on show and looks one of the main ones to aim for.

Form & Verdict
Vet found nothing amiss with gelding after he flopped when last seen out in Musselburgh; that a rare enough blip on the profile of this Grade Three placed hurdler; jumping often not brilliant hurdling so interesting to see how he handles himself here, but likely to be well schooled and has the engine to cause some real problems.

Won a novice handicap chase at Taunton (2m, good) for Joe Tickle in January and fair third over same C&D next time; changed yards last month having had a wind op, and was a well-beaten third of three at Chepstow on stable debut (2m, good); hung right there so this track should suit better.

Able to dominate when cashing in a career-low mark at Taunton in January (2m, good), his sole win in 14 chasing starts; hasn't gone on since, but back to within 2lb of that figure now and one previous wind operation provoked a small spike in form; chance on first start for new yard.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt over fences at Taunton (2m, good) in January, and he's run well on testing ground in the past; below par on his last two starts but drops back in grade today and could give a good account.
