Fair form on the Flat this season, notably when fifth of 21 over 1m1f at Leopardstown; made little impression over hurdles at Wexford on his penultimate start, and has never reached the first four in this sphere.

9st 2lb |
Dual purpose maiden is 0-9 on the Flat; beaten 12l in a Wexford handicap hurdle five days ago; previously shaped with promise when fifth at Leopardstown (9f, good), beaten 4.25l and denied a clear run (King Arthurs Sword and Harseva behind); same mark today but drawn wide; each-way claims with cheekpieces back on. |

0-16 , including seven starts over hurdles but has ran well on last two Flat outings, particularly last time out when staying on to be beaten 4.25l into fifth at Leopardstown (1m1f, good); made no impact in hurdle outings in 2021-22 but is in better form now; interesting. |

Useful effort when third over 2m at Kilbeggan last August; failed to repeat that form at Bellewstown later that month; not a bad run at Gowran last month for a new stable and after a good break; comes into the reckoning following creditable third in a 25-runner contest at this venue. |

Winner of three of his six chase starts since January; potentially very well handicapped off 91 having achieved a 29lb higher mark over fences; chase form would seem to indicate a preference for staying trips (wins have included one over 3m at Navan) but he won a 2m handicap hurdle at the same venue last October; ran in good company at Galway on latest chase start.
