Won John Corbet Cup over C&D (good) a year ago and has developed into one of Ireland's top hunter chasers this season; ran big race in defeat in Champion Hunters Chase at last month's Punchestown festival (3m, good to yielding) and ought to be a very tough nut to crack here.

Won the champion novice hunters' chase at Stratford last May; winner of six of his last seven starts, his sequence broken when unsuited by soft ground in a race won by today's rival Dorking Cock at Down Royal in December; did not have to get a hard race at Fairyhouse 13 days ago; a relatively young horse with potential for further improvement.
