Point-to-point winner failed to win over hurdles but off the mark chasing at the second attempt, asserting from last in 2m5f Sligo beginners' nine days ago (good-to-yielding); likely has more to offer and opening mark looks workable.

Sole hurdle win came here over 2m6f and his his best chase efforts have also been here; however, has been poor on last three starts and has to rebound in a big way.

Sole win came here in a 2m6f handicap hurdle off this mark in 2024 (good to yielding); reverts to hurdles following poor efforts in his last two runs; won't want the ground too soft.

Longstanding maiden has plenty of placed efforts to his name over fences and hurdles, including a C&D third in March from 2lb higher; below best in two starts since; place shout but hard to fancy for win purposes.

Consistent form last autumn, finishing placed five times in a row, two over hurdles; runner-up in his first three handicap chase starts, including over C&D; lost form for a while before a reassuring effort over hurdles at Downpatrick; a leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Has flourished since joining this yard from Christian Williams, notching up hat-trick of 3m handicap hurdle wins over the summer, at Roscommon and twice at Wexford; potentially thrown in back chasing here off 23lb lower mark, although has softer ground to contend with.

Won first four races for this stable at around this trip and ran well again here at Christmas when third to Duke Silver, having made most; blinkers now replace cheekpieces but has it to do from 5lb out of handicap, and ideally may want better ground.
