Much improved since going handicapping, just denied at Down Royal before decisive 3m5f success in Ulster National at Downpatrick in late March, winning going away; didn't count just eight days later when tough ask in 3m5f Irish National but don't rule out back in grade here and handles this quicker ground.

2-4 over hurdles; modest form in beginners' chases; much improved when a neck second over 3m at Down Royal on second handicap start, underlining the stamina shown when winning two points and a 3m hurdle; however, he failed to build on that in the Grand National Trial at Punchestown.

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims.

Thorough Flat stayer who reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race; good ground looked okay for him last season but a muted display at Royal Ascot nine weeks ago perhaps confirmed that anything firmer is not ideal; either way, another career best is needed today.

Both wins for this yard have come on rain softened ground at around 2m4f; had been in decent form over timber before pulling up at Killarney last time (2m7f, good, jockey reported never travelled); may need softer ground.
