Winner in France over 1m2f and winning debut for this yard in Punchestown maiden early last year; highly-tried afterwards and was returning from 264-day absence when never sighted (hampered) in very valuable Leopardstown handicap in February; Irish Cesarewitch entry so interesting how he fares on return here.

Dual-purpose sort's sole Flat win came on the AW; best run on turf was a 2l fourth off 1lb lower on latest in the Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (2m3f, good); may need this after 261 days away; cheekpieces go on.

First reserve; AW winner in France and winning debut for this yard in Punchestown maiden hurdle early last year; lightly raced this year, well held behind The Truant at Tramore last time; hard to assess but up-coming Cesarewitch entries suggest he could go well here.

Fifth career win came over C&D in May (good) and somewhat mixed form since, standout run when just denied over 2m1f at Clonmel last month (Bottler'secret 3L away third); heavy ground could have been too testing at Listowel last time so remains of interest back on better ground.
