11st 11lb |
Well beaten on latest hurdling start in April and has performed well in only one of his four subsequent chases, when second in Kilbeggan beginners' event (2m4f, yielding) two starts ago; ought to be suited by today's move back up in trip but has some questions to answer. |

Made all to win his maiden hurdle and chase and stays 3m1f; only beaten 5l at Galway last summer but down the field in his other handicaps; stable jockey rides but lacks a run and hard to fancy on form. |

Won a 2m4f beginners' at Fairyhouse in November (good); only beaten 0.5l in follow-up bid back at that track; returned from a break at Punchestown festival last time on handicap chase debut but was disappointing; the fact O'Keeffe chooses him gives some confidence that he may be primed to give his best. |
