Half-brother to his trainer's Grade 3 novice chase winner San Salvador; ordinary maiden form; never involved after an early mistake on his handicap debut at this venue; showed major improvement at Killarney; form has been franked by the winner in scoring on the Flat at Navan, and by the third with a hurdle win at Punchestown; noteworthy jockey booking.

Very useful staying hurdler, winning 2m4f handicap here and 3m contests at Listowel and Leopardstown last term; career-best when last seen finishing third of 24 in 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown festival in April; closely related to yard's good chaser San Salvador, so good chance he'll take to chasing; trip on the short side, but has won around here before so greatly respected.
