Dual-purpose two-time winning hurdler; won C&D maiden hurdle last May and added a Listed handicap hurdle at the Galway festival in August; well beaten off revised mark twice since; decent run on the Flat at Killarney 13 days ago, but more needed back over timber in new headgear combination. |

No closer than 14l in three Flat maidens (for Michael Hourigan) and better known as a jumper, having won a Listed handicap hurdle at last year's Galway festival; could be dangerous off this low a mark. |

Triumph Hurdle entry at Cheltenham; fair 1m6f Irish Flat winner in July and followed up in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good front-running third to a top prospect at Ascot (good) 18 days ago and that's easily the best hurdles form in this line-up. |

0-17 and he blows hot and cold but there have been some good runs in defeat on AW this year; finished behind Havachoc at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and may do so again. |

0-16 but he was third in March and backed that up with another good effort, finishing second of 11 (also Southwell, 1m6f) last month; below that level over 2m at that track three days later but he may be capable of bouncing back returned to this shorter trip. |
