Well behind Cave Court at Listowel but much more at home stepping back up to 3m when a close second in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse; conditions to suit here and a big run would not surprise.

Dual winning pointer was runner-up to a useful type in a rated novice (3m1f) here in January and fourth in Limerick Grade 3 in March; flattered by both of those formlines but should be sharper for mid-field return at Listowel and not without some chance. |

Maiden under rules but a dual point winner and he was beaten under 10l in a 3m Grade 3 chase at Limerick last season; well handicapped on that form but the chances are it grossly flatters him; last seen pulling up in a beginners' chase (burst blood vessel). |

Has won his last four over jumps, the last two over fences within six days at Listowel and Clonmel; up 22lb for those two successes but no guarantee that he has not stopped improving, but unproven over the trip.

Worrying that he ran so moderately on his only previous chase start (at Downpatrick in May) but he's undeniably well handicapped off 95 after winning two handicap hurdles since then off 102 (2m/2m1f); has a bit to prove over this far but a danger to all if finding some rhythm. |

Struggled over hurdles for this yard after winning a point and a similar story in three chases for Liam Lennon; back with Gordon Elliott she finished well held returned to hurdling in a handicap at Perth in August 2022 and not seen since; has a lot to prove on the face of it but may yet do better for her leading yard. |

Won on point debut for Colin Bowe just over a year ago; well beaten in three maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott in January; similar in three beginners' chases for Liam Lennon between February and May; unplaced favourite at Perth on her first run since rejoining Elliott; premature to write off. |
