Dual chase winner has been below his best the last twice but has run well in defeat at this track and his yard is in form so he can't be ruled out.

Two handicap chase wins include over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in summer of 2024; fine comeback run after 16 months' absence at Leopardstown recently when staying-on third over 2m6f (yielding) without his usual cheekpieces; big player if backing that up.
