Better chaser than hurdler; atoned for narrow Clonmel defeat in November by landing 2m6f Tramore handicap later same month despite not handling the track particularly well; only just touched off by the improving Clonmeen at Punchestown; has the best recent credentials.

Useful handicap chaser last season; won at Tramore and only touched off at Punchestown before winning easily at Navan in January; found to be lame after a poor run when favourite at Naas in February; rated 22lb lower than as a chaser, but would prefer further and was unplaced in this race 12 months ago on seasonal debut |

Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Down Royal three seasons ago; 0-9 over fences, beaten by some smart sorts early on over but has become bitterly disappointing; in rear throughout at Leopardstown on latest; Mark Walsh's presence is the only positive.

No wins since a hurdle success in 2020 and 0-10 over fences but one of his better recent efforts when a distant second at Naas in January; well treated on old form if he can build on that; drops back in trip. |

Fell on both novice chase starts at Punchestown last winter, a Grade 3 event on the second occasion; made amends when putting in a good round of jumping at Roscommon in August; no match for Uncle Phil at Galway in September, form recently advertised by the winner in a valuable handicap; clear chance if near his best after a break.

Uncompetitive last season in beginners' chases won by smart horses; third at Punchestown in November was encouraging after a Gowran fall, but he put another blot on his record when pulled up in the Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick.

Both hurdle wins came at 2m; best chase run when third behind useful pair Grandero Bello and Macs Charm over this trip at Gowran last February; below that standard on his final two starts before a break; one of three for his owner here.

11st 1lb |
He won a Listed novice hurdle in February 2022 and reverts to this discipline for the first time since that March; however, his subsequent form over fences has been patchy and he may be best watched on this stable debut (formerly with Padraig Roche). |

Smart Listed-winning novice hurdler (rated 138) but his chase career has been underwhelming; soundly beaten all five handicap starts although showed more until weakening at Punchestown last month where he probably needed it; down 9lb in total from initial mark. |
