Just glimpses of ability over shorter trips but much improved to run away with a Galway 3m handicap last time; 14lb higher now makes this much tougher but has to be respected.

Finest hour when winning the Tim Duggan Chase at Limerick last Christmas; significantly better chaser than hurdler but has won over flights; might be best watched after seven months off. |

Second runner for yard; looks the first-string on jockey bookings; 2-15 over timber and ground versatile; just 2lb above last winning mark; that win came here over 2m4f last year; off 162 days but has won when fresh before and he's an interesting runner. |

11st 0lb |
Chase and hurdles winner; won off 95 at Limerick (2m1f, soft to heavy) on latest start in April and off since; up 7lb for that win and has tended to need his comeback runs in the past; not fully discounted but is probably best watched. |

19th Apr 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 100y |

Two wins in points; off the mark over hurdles in a 2m3f handicap at this track in December; next three runs were over fences, including a moderate third over C&D when chance harmed by the interference caused by a faller; has to rebound from below-par run over hurdles here last week. |

Two-time winner over hurdles on yielding and heavy ground; jumped left when a decent fifth of 15 off 91 in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last month; ran well on heavy at Galway (2m6f) a year ago, shaping like this sort of test would suit; in form and could go well. |
