Bumper/hurdle/chase winner returned from absence to win 2m4f chase at Clonmel in June, beating Moonovercloon who was narrowly denied in the Galway Blazers; after a disappointing run at Wexford he reverted to hurdles when a remote second to Saint Sam at Cork; this is slightly easier but he has never run over this far.

Cesarewitch winner in 2022 and has been running creditably in classy staying company on the Flat this year, notably when second in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot; sparingly campaigned over hurdles in recent years but ran out a comfortable winner when sent off odds-on at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) this month and has to be respected again.

Cesarewitch winner in 2022 and has been running creditably in classy staying company on the Flat this year, notably when second over 2m6f at Royal Ascot; sparingly campaigned over hurdles in recent years but fair second to Zanahiyr in three-horse race at Punchestown the last time we saw him over flights in the autumn, at which time his hurdles mark was 143; has been found a good opportunity here. |

Classy Flat pedigree and won over 1m4f in France; hasn't built on his odds-on success in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Punchestown (heavy); last two runs when pulling up at Punchestown and Galway too bad to be true; hopes rest on drier ground (weather permitting) but it's difficult to be enthusiastic about him at present.

Loves it around here, with three of his five career wins coming at this venue; didn't show much on last three starts towards the back end of last season and hard to see him playing a big part on first start for 299 days. |
