Badly lost his way for Gordon Elliott but back to his best for new yard last season with two wins, including the Ulster National, preceded by his Irish National fourth; with two creditable shows this term as well, taking third of 19 in the Troytown at Navan (3m, heavy) on latest, he looks in the mood for a bold show in this lesser contest.

Second in the 2023 Thyestes and fourth in the Kim Muir the same year; lost his way for Gordon Elliott; change of scene did the trick last season; backed up a 66-1 course handicap hurdle success by landing the Ulster National; finished a creditable fourth in the Irish Grand National; should be better for his run in an Irish-dominated contest at Cheltenham last month.

Knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and it was a cracking run to be fourth in the Irish National in April last time considering he carried an 8lb penalty for winning the Ulster National; that Fairyhouse defeat was his first for this yard; entitled to run well.
