Has failed to fire over fences or hurdles this season; latest Cork fifth a remote one; trip and ground fine but needs to rediscover best; maybe the new tongue tie can help.

No sign of his best form since two wins and a solid fourth in chases at Navan last season; tailed off when sent back over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January.

Four-time winner under rules split evenly between hurdles and fences; latest win came in a Navan handicap chase off 116 in February (3m, soft to heavy); pulled up and beaten 29 l in two chasing runs this season, so a bit to prove now in first-time cheekpieces.

Both chase wins last season were gained over C&D, including this race when beating Salmanino; never sighted before pulled up on recent seasonal return at Fairyhouse but much more expected here down in grade.

Both chase wins last season were gained in 3m handicaps at Navan; form also included a third placing in a 2m6f rated chase at this track and a satisfactory fourth placing at Navan on his final start; Mark Walsh prefers recent course hurdles winner Better Times Ahead.
