Much the best of these over hurdles, winning twice at Grade 2 level and runner-up in pair of Grade 1 contests over 3m; hasn't got his head in front for over three years but fine second of 25 in Punchestown festival handicap last month; jumping issues when tried over fences back in 2021, best effort from three attempts when placed at Navan.

Very capable hurdler and plenty of promise all three chase starts, notably his 6l fourth in Fairyhouse Grade 1 over Easter; that would make him a mid-140s chaser and should win this with a tilt at the Galway Plate surely on his agenda.
