Blinkered first time when third of 14 on his handicap debut in this sphere at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January and off the mark over fences when landing fairly valuable event at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month; 22-1 and pulled up in Listed novice handicap last time but that had the makings of a warm event and he needs respecting.

Improved since going handicapping, decent Thurles effort followed by 2m Gowran win last month on heavy under a positive ride from today's rider; 5lb higher and this looks a much stronger race.

Second on his first two starts over fences last April/May; remote seventh behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan in November; below-par when sharing favouritism in a Punchestown conditions hurdle in December; ran out of steam late on handicap chase debut over 2m5f at Thurles, 2m may suit better.

Maiden hurdle winner; has run well in defeat at times in good races; second on his first two starts over fences, remote seventh behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan in November; shared 9-4 favouritism in a Punchestown conditions hurdle (2m, heavy) in December but was struggling from three out; makes handicap chase debut now but needs to bounce back to his best with blinkers replacing the previously worn cheekpieces.
