Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect.

In fine form over fences and hurdles; has won two of his last four starts, a conditions hurdle at Down Royal and a beginners' chase on latest at Kilbeggan; decent efforts in handicaps at Haydock and Kilbeggan sandwiched between those wins; needs a little bit more off current mark.

Form & Verdict
Two wins under rules on soft-heavy; 0-5 chasing but ran well in 3m Musselburgh handicap and most recently second to hotpot Spanish Harlem (runs in Midlands National previous race) in five-runner Punchestown novice over this trip last month with this headgear combination; should be thereabouts.

J: Mr J M Halford

T: John C McConnell

He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival.

Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery.

Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest.
