Point winner was second in decent 2m3f Navan maiden in September, where he split horses now rated 125 and 119; after nearly 10 months off, was unfancied when keeping on steadily over 3m at Roscommon (stable won it with shorter-priced runner).

Commenced chase career with two wins; 0-7 since and has failed to back up reappearance effort in a light current campaign; however, this combination of a drop back in class and return to forecast faster ground may prompt a resurgence.

Won two chases last season and gave good account when third on reappearance outing at Ascot (3m, good) in November; subsequent defeat on heavy ground can probably be overlooked and he'll be dangerous here if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect.
