Mixed form in the top hunter chases last season; stand-out effort third behind Wonderwall and Its On The Line at Cheltenham; started this season brightly with second to Its On The Line at Down Royal; unseated mid-race at Thurles; pulled up at Cheltenham; major chance if he adapts to the demands of this circuit; cheekpieces fitted; good 7lb claimer.

T: Gordon Elliott

Took form to new level in hunter chases last season and recruited by these connections prior to a staying-on third in this race; that campaign ended on a low note and, as in this last year, Its On The Line was ahead of him on his comeback at Down Royal; unseated mid-race last time; needs a career best but eight is no age in this discipline and he may have more to give.

Won this race 12 months ago for Sean Doyle; made a fine start for Gordon Elliott when staying on for third in the Irish-dominated St James's Place at Cheltenham; in contrast, a tame effort and pulled up in the championship event at Punchestown; back near the top of his form when splitting Its On The Line and the smart Con's Roc at Down Royal; sets the standard.
