Reliable performer this season at up to 1m6f; good chance if seeing out this trip following a clear-cut win in an apprentice handicap at Killarney; winning rider now aboard New Year Honours, but Jack Cleary is also good value for his claim.

Dual-purpose; in fine form in both codes; too much to do when a 1.75l third in a hot handicap at Naas (2m, yielding) on latest; won a 16.5f (good) maiden hurdle here on his penultimate start earlier this month; this trip is fine and he handles soft ground but heavy would be an unknown; should go well if handles it.

Mostly campaigned over jumps this year; needs to step up from recent Flat run at Naas but not without a chance if reproducing last season's best form.
