J: Anna McGuinness

T: W P Mullins

Maiden hurdle winner placed in a Grade 1 before losing his form last year; blasted back to somewhere near his best when landing a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m7f, good to yielding) by 17l in April; 2m at Wexford was too sharp for him when 7.5l behind the winner in second, carrying a penalty; rider reduces penalty here and he's undoubtedly the one to beat.
