Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last summer before losing his way; decent run at Dundalk last month off 8lb higher AW mark so has to be of interest back on the turf (stamina proven).

4yo point-to-point winner showed promise in maidens and again on handicap debut on latest at Cork (18.5f, good); has a tendency to race keenly so he'll need to settle better at this longer distance; chance if he does.
