Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace.

Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences; was a 7l runner-up at Navan in a 2m4f handicap hurdle in November but pulled-up at Leopardstown next time; a squeak if back to form.

Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark.

Bumper winner placed in three maiden hurdles at 16.5f-2m6f on good and soft ground for Willie Mullins, including a 4.25l third here (16.5f, yielding) behind a now 128 rated chaser; market should reveal plenty on stable and handicap debut after a 306 day absence.
