Won 2m4f Limerick handicap chase last year and has been in fine form hurdling this term, winning at Limerick and Cork and most recently chasing home a clear-cut winner at former venue in December; back from a short break and resumes over fences off a 14lb lower mark than hurdles so of obvious appeal.
