Dual hurdle winner last season on good-to-yielding; safely held in quality beginners' chases; 3-1 favourite for handicap chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m1f, soft) last time when kept on for third, 11l behind the winner; step up in trip should help, as should this better ground; chance.

Both hurdle wins on good-to-yielding; safely held in decent beginners chases of late but Walsh's pick in first handicap.

2-4 over hurdles and rated 140; offered something to build on when a 15l fourth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Kitzbuhel on chase debut and seasonal return at Punchestown (2m3f, sft-hvy); this ground more suitable and he is an interesting runner.

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles in an informative 2m3f maiden at Naas; reportedly coughing due to kickback after struggling in a Grade 1 at the same venue; much more like it on final start, again at Naas, winning a 2m conditions event with plenty to spare; interesting chasing prospect.
