Sole defeat over hurdles came at this meeting last year (third to The New Lion in the Turners) and lost his undefeated record over fences when just over 12l third to Kaid d'Authie in Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival (extended 2m5f, soft); previous wins were impressive and he's a big player on form but that defeat and the addition of a tongue-tie are concerns.

Won his sole point start; scored in three of his four hurdle starts last season, including twice in Grade 1 company, notably at this meeting last year; has made a perfect start to chasing, winning a beginners' easily at Navan before a comfortable Grade 1 success at Limerick over Christmas (Jimmy Du Seuil well beaten), both over similar trips to today; handles testing ground fine and is the one to beat.

Won his sole point; only defeat in four races over hurdles, including a maiden victory here, came when outpaced over 2m5f on good to soft at Cheltenham in March; fairly bolted up under more positive tactics on either side of that, in Grade 1s at Leopardstown (2m6f, soft) and Punchestown (2m4f, yielding); fine start over fences when winning over just shy of this trip at Navan last month and he's a short-priced favourite for the 3m novice chase at Cheltenham in March.
