Point winner took a Punchestown bumper last winter and solid runs in defeat since, notably when second (well-held) to Grade 1 winner Redemption Day at Fairyhouse in April; faces nothing of that calibre here, so a leading chance.

Steadily progressive since upped in trip, winning 2m3f maiden here before considerably better form in 3m Albert Bartlett last month, only conceding second late on to Fruit De Mer having led at the last; handles this better ground and easier finish could suit.

Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected.

3-6 in bumpers; promise on hurdles debut behind Thedeviluno and Skylight Hustle at Gowran; stayed on strongly for third in the Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; disappointed upped to Grade 1 company at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; leading claims upped in trip and returned to maiden company.

Form & Verdict
Made an encouraging debut at Roscommon last year but was poor at Cheltenham next time; however, showed his true colours with an impressive all-the-way score in a Downpatrick bumper on recent return; with improvement likely from that he is a big player with the champion amateur aboard; hood retained.

Won back to back races last summer, a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) and a Kelso novice (2m5f, good); out of depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen in October; not bred for this game and probably best watched after a 219-day absence.

All his best form is on good ground and he was withdrawn from a yielding-to-soft engagement; made all for wins at around 2m5f at Bellewstown and Kelso, latterly by a narrow margin; up in grade and down in trip, others appeal more.

Bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, despite some indifferent jumping; posted an RPR of 127 in the process and that sets the standard here; stable won this last year; softening ground might not be ideal (withdrawn from a yielding to soft engagement).
