T: Mrs John Harrington

Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience.

Beaten by Malbas over C&D last June before back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Galway, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him when pulled up at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor run in yielding at Downpatrick.

Won four-runner novice chase at Cork (16.5f, good) in October; 0-6 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 5.25l when fourth off this mark at Navan in September; fell in a handicap chase at Navan latest; not discounted back over hurdles.

One of two for trainer; exhibited jumping frailties in previous starts before getting off the mark in a Cork novice chase in October (2m2f, good); Achilles heel came back to haunt him when 5-2 favourite next time at Thurles (2m3f, good), jumping poorly and finishing a 17.75l fourth; Donoghue rides Stuntman Steve.

Got over his jumping frailties to get off the mark in a Cork novice chase last time, surviving a mistake at the first; that was over a bit shorter than this; a big player with another clear round.
