Lightly raced; won at Cheltenham (3m4f, good) last April and has run well when placed this season off this 10lb higher mark at Cheltenham (extended 3m3f, good) and Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); each-way claims again assuming that first-time cheekpieces don't have a negative impact.

Very useful staying chaser when on song and has pretty good record at Cheltenham; pulled up at Exeter two starts ago and didn't find much at the business end when third of four at Carlisle (3m, good) last month but it won't be a surprise if he runs a big race here.

11yo who has had eight starts since October 2023 and ran well just once; however, that was when second at Cheltenham (3m2f, good; 2lb lower today) last April on the only previous occasion he's worn these blinkers, so the return of the headgear offers a glimmer of hope (tailed off in cheekpieces latest start); he also won this race in 2023.

Form & Verdict
Seems versatile regarding trip/ground and is well handicapped on some of last season's Irish form for Willie Mullins but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn (four runs); needs to turn a corner.
