Hurdle winner ran well enough on h'cap chase debut at Punchestown but was poor over hurdles last time at Ballinrobe; the cheekpieces worn then are left off today so he could rebound.

Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include at Tramore and most recently over 3m2f at Kilbeggan a week ago, winning handily; up 7lb for latest but in the form of his life and has to enter calculations.
