T: Thomas Gibney

Both career wins came at this track, including off 5lb lower over fences in December over 2m4f; couple of good placed efforts this year, most notably when beaten 4l into third at Tramore in April (Aclass in second); let down by jumping when well-held over shorter trip at Ballinrobe 12 days ago; could figure back up in trip with 5lb claimer taking over.

Much less exposed as a chaser than many of these and did well last season; won over this trip at Punchestown and creditable efforts last twice; likely to be handy and coming back to this trip might well be a plus.

Shed the maiden tag over fences at Punchestown (19.5f, yld-sft) in December off 6lb lower; not a bad run in listed novice handicap at Navan latest and this is much less demanding; seems best going right-handed so this track could suit; interesting.

Runner-up on return to action in November at Thurles (2m6f, good to yielding); went one better in a big field at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding to soft) getting off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt; disappointed at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft); 6lb higher compared to his win here and others make more appeal.

Runner-up on November's return to action (2m6f, good to yielding) then went one better in a big field at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding to soft), getting off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt; won at 3m over hurdles and there's plenty to like about this 10yo's claims today.
