In terrific form of late, winning a Roscommon beginners, a Tramore novice chase and reverted back to hurdles to win a Kilbeggan handicap two weeks ago; up 7lb but a tough horse that doesn't know when he's beaten and should go well once again.

Form & Verdict
Mostly campaigned over fences of late, winning a 2m4f handicap chase here in May; last win over hurdles came at Clonmel two years ago off 109; clearly well in over hurdles and has to be respected, even if this trip might be short of his best nowadays.

Ran up a hat-trick of successes in a maiden hurdle, novice hurdle and handicap hurdle over the summer and has climbed 18lb; probably found the step up to 2m7f beyond him at Killarney last time; likely to be one of the pace angles in the race and could take some pegging back if on song.

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards.
