Nine-time point winner won three in a row earlier this year on heavy, claiming hurdles at Limerick and Naas plus a handicap chase at the former track; blowing hard after pulled-up in a Wexford novice last time; might find this trip sharp; blinkers.

Prolific pointer is on a four-timer after notching up wins in claiming hurdles at Limerick (2m5f, heavy) and Naas (2m6f, sft-hvy) and a handicap chase at Limerick (2m7f, heavy); has to prove his effectiveness on better ground, however.

Hurdle wins at 2m4f but career-best came over this trip when second in Grade 3 Aintree handicap in April (good); briefly tried chasing this term and pulled up on latest two hurdling attempts in testing conditions; hard to be confident in.

Rated 130 over hurdles; never remotely dangerous when third on chase debut and was towards the rear when unseating four out at Galway (2m6f, good; first-time tongue-tie; 25-1); others appeal more, including stablemate Uncle Pat who was a lot shorter in the betting than him at Galway.
