Maiden after 22 races under rules; not a bad hurdle run last time; has a shout if back to his better chase form of last year.

Better over fences than over hurdles; best run came in a novice chase at this track last October; back from a break with a heavy defeat at Ballinrobe 13 days ago; might need another run or two to hit top gear.
