After minor wins in Ireland he went off 50-1 for the 2m5f Grade 1 Turners at Cheltenham but he defied those odds to finish third, in spite of so much going wrong during the race (got behind after suffering interference); the manner in which he stayed on offers plenty of encouragement for this extra yardage; it's a nagging concern that only four 5yos have won this since 1988 but intriguing otherwise.

Safely held when second to Riskaway at Thurles (2m4f, good to yielding) but improved since; followed a wide-margin win there (yielding to soft) by responding well for pressure to score at Navan (also 2m, soft to heavy); the step back up in trip is probably of little concern and he might surprise a few.

Placed on both bumper starts; beaten 1 1/4l by a subsequent maiden hurdle winner at Galway on the first occasion; no match for a short-priced Gordon Elliott inmate on hurdling debut over 2m4f at Thurles; recovered from a bad error two out when a runaway winner over 2m at Thurles four weeks ago; promising sort.

Two-time winner, both at Fairyhouse; won a 2m (soft) novice handicap off 109 there in December; added a 21.5f handicap (yld-sft) off 122 last month, scoring by 5.5l; 9lb rise for that seems fair; should be competitive again but wouldn't want to see too much rain (well beaten in four previous starts on soft to heavy).

Sole success came in 2m handicap here in December on soft; followed that up with a solid second over 20.5f (gd-yld) at Leopardstown and just 2lb higher here; struggled at 2m on testing ground the last twice, but interesting now back up in trip at the scene of his only win with Cobden taking over.

Form in maidens was nothing special but took advantage of opening mark of 109 to win his second handicap start at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); solid second when 11-8 favourite in a novice handicap at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding); better than he showed at Navan last time when well beaten; appears to be the pick of the owner's two.

Backed at big prices when scoring on hurdling debut at Gowran (2m, heavy) and best run yet on handicap debut over 2m7f at Punchestown in February, having to wait going to last but finishing his race out strongly on similar ground to win going away (third has won both chase starts since); 5lb rise looks workable, should go well.

Tramore maiden hurdle winner sprang a surprise when winning a four-runner Thurles Grade 3 novice (21.5f, yld-sft) in February; that form has taken a few knocks since, however, and Paul Townend has jumped ship; more needed up in grade.
