Comes from the point-to-point/hunter chase scene and won 2m7f hunters' on good ground last year; 80-1 when pulled up in the Cheltenham festival hunter chase in March; hard to weigh up and only a 6yo, but prefer to watch.

Won a hunter chase last May (on good ground) and probably wasn't in love with the heavy surface (has won on yielding to soft) when tailed off behind Con's Roc at Fairyhouse in November in his latest hunter chase; has since run well behind a prolific pointer; only a 6yo but this race looks too tough.

Little about his maiden point efforts presaged the huge personal best of last month's Down Royal hunter chase win (2m7f, good; RPR 133), though as a sibling of Aintree Foxhunters' second Jet Plane and prolific mare Found On he might always have made a chaser; player if backing that up.

A record of 2-10 in points; the best of three hunter chase runs was last time when only beaten 2l over a shorter trip at this track; the hood worn then is retained and can race keenly but goes on the shortlist; second runner for yard.
