2m5f maiden hurdle winner ran well upped to 3m for his handicap chase debut here when third (3m, soft to heavy); built on that to comfortably score at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) and took advantage of his lower hurdles mark here last time, winning by 4l (2m4f, heavy); he's 10lb higher than his Punchestown win but is towards the top of the shortlist.

Not bred for stamina tests but ran well upped to 3m here on handicap chase debut when a 9l third; comfortably won over fences at Punchestown last month (2m7f, soft to heavy) and now rated 126 in that discipline; 2m5f maiden winner over hurdles and ran respectably only handicap start last year; leading contender in modest contest.
