Form & Verdict

Useful hurdler; didn't run badly in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January when back from a long absence but failed to build on that in three runs since; makes chase debut off a very good mark and difficult to rule out if ready to roll back from a break, albeit with a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict

3-4 since joining Olly Murphy, all wins coming in cheekpieces at around this trip, most recently on chase debut off 6lb lower at Worcester (2m4f, good) 22 days ago; holds a fitness edge over his market rivals and another bold bid expected despite the 6lb rise.

Form & Verdict

14-race maiden chaser, albeit highly tried at times and not beaten far over the Punchestown banks on two occasions this year for Enda Bolger; remains in the same ownership but has since changed stables and he can't be ruled out on the pick of his form if ready to do himself justice after a break; versatile trip-wise and handles most ground.
