Won his bumper here and added a Punchestown maiden hurdle; he's been good and bad in six defeats over fences and current wellbeing is a bit of an issue ahead of this return to hurdling. |

0-4 in chases and rated 111; good third off that mark in a handicap chase at Navan on latest; 0-5 over hurdles but ran well when third behind Ethical Diamond and Kainsbourg in a Punchestown maiden in February 2025; big chance if he repeats that. |

One of two for trainer; poor in opening beginners' chases and just modest improvement for switch to a handicap last time when beaten 21l; trainer's/owner's best chance appears to be Park That. |
