Has won his three starts in points since pulled up in a hunter chase at Clonmel in January; made the favourite Hearts And Spades work hard for his Dromahane win, and may again give his younger rival most to do. |

2-12 in points; improved from Limerick run at Christmas when a 25-1 winner of a maiden hunter chase at Thurles in January; handled heavy conditions well, and did well to recover from a bad mistake at the seventh; third in the Tetratema at Gowran last time, winner Let's Go Champ franked the form with Aintree Foxhunter third. |
