Rated 9lb higher over fences but has so far failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark this season; went very close to doing so at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December and Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy) in January but below that level at Naas on latest; could rebound.

Dual-winning chaser has been attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark this season; beaten just a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown in December (2m5f, good to yielding); 1l behind Zanoosh last time at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) and that rival bolted up in Listed company next time; creeping up the weights for not winning all the same.

Smart chaser went very close to taking advantage of lower hurdles mark when beaten a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding) in a 23-runner field; had been out of form prior to that run, but if he is back to his best a 4lb higher mark may not stop him.

Smart chaser finished last season tamely and never looked like exploiting his much lower hurdling mark on his seasonal return at Galway; may come on for that but others appeal more.

Progressive handicap chaser '23/24 season with 2m4f wins at Limerick and Punchestown; light campaign last term included comeback fourth (favourite) in this event off today's mark before reverting to fences, well held in big handicaps (blinkered final occasion); back hurdling again for seasonal return, interesting if market support arrives (17lb lower than fences).
