Was the outstanding novice hurdler of last season with two Grade 1 wins including the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham; had an excuse when well below that form at this meeting last year; made an impressive chasing debut at Navan; then had a chip taken out of a knee, so lacked experience but still ran a cracker in the Arkle; with more to come he will be difficult to beat today.

Travelled strongly when landing the odds in last year's Supreme (good to soft) before running no sort of race at Punchestown; dispatched inferior opposition with minimum of fuss on debut over fences at Navan (2m1f, soft/heavy) in November; hasn't been seen since (had a loose chip removed from a knee in December) and lacks the chasing experience of his rivals, but he certainly possesses the X factor and he's the one to beat with a clear round.

Unbeaten in a bumper and, despite being a novicey jumper, first three attempts hurdling last season, notably Grade 1 novices' at both Leopardstown and Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham; way below best (after a short break) at Punchestown but begins this season a leading candidate for novice chasing honours although will have to give his fences more respect.
