Defied an absence to win at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good) last August off 117 but was pulled up at Naas and tailed off at Limerick subsequently; pulled up again in Listed handicap at Punchestown seven days ago; this is easier but difficult to recommend.

Form & Verdict
Two time hurdle winner at Downpatrick is 0-6 over fences; fine effort in a beginners' chase at Tipperary early last month (third has won since off 101); well behind Sargent Lightfoot at Punchestown on penultimate start; makes his handicap chase debut off 105 and has to be considered after his last run; tongue tie and cheekpieces retained.

Yet to get his head in front after seven starts over fences; didn't jump well when beaten 20L in tongue tie-cheekpieces combination in a 2m3f handicap chase at Wexford just three days ago; just the cheekpieces are retained today; needs to jump better to have a say in this from 2lb out of the handicap.
