Won his bumper and his maiden hurdle here last season, and ended the season as one of the country's leading staying novice hurdlers when runner-up in 3m Grade 1s at Cheltenham and Punchestown; every chance of being a top staying novice chase prospect and the one to beat here.

Ended last season one of the country's leading staying novice hurdlers when runner-up in 3m Grade 1s at Cheltenham and Punchestown; reappeared for successful chasing debut at Galway (2m6f), warming to his jumping on heavy ground in beating Favori De Champdou, the pair clear from some way out; potentially high-class staying novice and every chance he'll confirm that form here. |

Three-time winner over hurdles, including in a Grade 2 at Limerick in December on testing ground; exposed in Grade 1 company in the spring although did not run badly in the 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown; likely to do well over fences but faces a tough enough introduction here.

Two wins for previous yard, a Downpatrick bumper and an ordinary handicap hurdle at Cork; wouldn't be the obvious answer on past exploits but bred to make a chaser and he's now with Willie Mullins. |

Looked a very nice staying prospect when winning twice over hurdles in early 2022; not seen since pulled up in the Grade 1 at Punchestown that spring; best watched on his chasing debut but should be worth watching.

Looked nice staying prospect when winning twice over hurdles in early 2022; not seen since pulled up in the Grade 1 at Punchestown that spring until losing touch three out on chasing debut last month at Galway; better for that run but likely still best watched for now. |
