Ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last season including at this meeting; got off the mark in a Clonmel maiden last autumn and then took a Naas beginners' chase, easily beating Jacob's Ladder; just denied in the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Christmas and put up a respectable effort in the Champion Chase last time; can be involved.

Very short on chasing experience, having raced just twice in this sphere, but by the same token looks open to any amount of further improvement despite being a 9yo (latecomer to this scene); close second, clear of remainder, in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) when attempting to follow up his comfortable success in a Naas race that's worked out well; has shown good progress for current yard and looks interesting pitched into open company instead of bashing heads with similarly unexposed rivals in the Arkle.

Useful handicap hurdle form, notably when third behind two British-trained runners at the Punchestown festival; had a straightforward task when landing a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in October; 128-rated hurdler already looks a better horse over fences, judged on an 8l win from the 138-rated Jacobs Ladder at Naas.

Useful handicap hurdle form, notably when third at Punchestown festival; had a straightforward task when landing a recent maiden hurdle at Clonmel; 128-rated hurdler may find a few too good here.

J: Cian Cullinan

T: Eddie & Patrick Harty

Placed in nine of his 11 races, including all three bumpers and his first three maiden hurdle starts; slotted into handicaps effectively last season; twice in the money at Leopardstown before set a tough task in the County Hurdle, stands out in this company on his Punchestown festival third behind the British-trained pair Ascending Lark and Wilful.
