Improved in Irish points last year, dead-heating for first in November; that form looks modest but he's joined an in-form yard and must be considered on rules debut, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

Beaten a nose here last August (1m4f) off 2lb higher; disappointing run over hurdles five weeks ago, when a remote last of three, will need forgiving, but he has claims otherwise in a weak race going this far for the first time; back to blinkers from cheekpieces.
