4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected.

Point-to-point winner took the runner-up spot at Punchestown (2m3f, good to yielding) and Roscommon (2m5f, good) before running below his best at Galway (2m6f, good); ignoring his last run he's in good form, he has a healthy hurdles rating of 110 and he has a point background, so there's a lot to like.
