Won Limerick Listed bumper two years ago and a cracking effort when third in the Champion Bumper (good to soft; Sortudo and No Drama This End behind) at last season's Cheltenham Festival; disappointed on first two starts over hurdles but he rediscovered his groove in a newly fitted tongue-tie when second to King Rasko Grey at Limerick (2m, soft to heavy) in December before beating 15 others to win at Naas (about 2m2f, heavy) last time; this forecast better ground should be fine and he's not one to dismiss lightly.

T: Thomas Cooper

Dual bumper winner and third in last year's Cheltenham bumper; two disappointing hurdle runs before a much better effort at when chasing home a Willie Mullins-trained horse at Limerick last time; the third horse had won a bumper for Mullins, and fourth-placed I Started A Joke was odds-on when winning at Punchestown subsequently.

Dual bumper winner took third place in last season's Champion Bumper (Sortudo 4l behind); that rival got his revenge next time at Fairyhouse in the final start of the season when Shuttle Diplomacy was sent off favourite but finished 53l behind the winner (2m, soft to heavy); never travelled and jumped poorly when PU at Galway on hurdles debut; a bit to prove now.
