Confirmed promise of his debut third in a Downpatrick (2m3f, good) bumper by winning at Kilbeggan (2m4f, yielding) last September; has been off since, presumably waiting for better ground; should get that here and has claims if he is fit, though the drop to 2m is a slight concern.

Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner last season made fine bumper debut when finishing a long way clear of the remainder when second to a warm Willie Mullins-trained favourite over 2m4f at Leopardstown over Christmas (heavy); long absence since a slight concern and fitted with a tongue-tie here but anything approaching that form should suffice here.
