Mostly chasing since last year; has done well since reverting to hurdles this summer; up 13lb in total for a pair of small-field handicap wins under positive tactics employed by this rider; may be a shade too high now.

Made all to win over hurdles here in May and bounced back from a poor Galway run to again make all to win a Wexford handicap hurdle six days ago; goes well here and should be a player but likes to get her own way in front.

Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried.

Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time.

Flat winner is 1-11 over hurdles, having been successful in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft to heavy); good runner-up finish to the smart Switch From Diesel in a Punchestown novice hurdle in June was his best run since (2m1f, good); makes chasing debut now and his hurdles rating of 115 gives him a shout but his recent runs have been a bit below his best.
