Close second to Busselton here last year on cross-country debut; looked in fine shape when beating The Goffer and subsequent Cheltenham winner Final Orders over 3m here in November; pulled up over hurdles the following month; dropped away from the 23rd of 31 obstacles at Cheltenham; obvious chance if on song again.

Untested on this track but close second in La Touche Cup on cross-country debut at Punchestown (4m1f, good to yielding) last May and looked in very good nick when beating The Goffer and Final Orders to win over 3m on that Bank course (soft to heavy) in November; pulled up over hurdles the following month and 3lb out of the weights today but still considered.

T: Martin Brassil

Career highlight in winning the 2023 Kerry National; mixed form since then; showed he is in good shape with a Punchestown cross-country win; an adaptable sort but may find a few of his younger rivals too lively here.

Career highlight in winning the 2023 Kerry National; mixed form since then but ran a fine race to take second behind Busselton in the 4m1f La Touche here in May; should be in prime shape for this after winning an open point three weeks ago.
