Point-to-point/maiden hurdle winner; creditable fifth behind Golden Ace in the Mares' Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham a year ago; solid run behind the useful Spindleberry (2-2 over fences) on chase debut at Cork in December, a late mistake proving costly; jumped poorly when a disappointing second-favourite at Naas; should feature with an error-free round.

Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test.

Point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe at Portrush in October 2022; after a year off, flopped when odds-on favourite for a bumper at Fairyhouse; redeemed himself when beating a useful sort in Down Royal maiden hurdle win the following month; seems to have had training issues but chance has to be take seriously.
