Irish hunter chase winner who has gone very close on both starts for this stable, beaten a neck at Fontwell (3m2f, good) and by a short head at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) nine days later; up in class but looks to have a strong chance of doubling his chase tally.

Every chance but couldn't quite get past when suffering an odds-on defeat on this month's Fontwell stable debut (3m2f), though did at least record a clear personal best good-ground effort there; 4lb well in as a result, but today's contest has a little bit more depth to it for the grade.

Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure.
