Not the easiest to win with and his rider got a whip ban when he prevailed narrowly over hurdles here last month (2m, soft); off the same mark for this return to chasing and, although 0-10 in this discipline, he has been placed; trip won't be an issue.

11st 12lb |
Won over C&D at this fixture 12 months ago when 6lb lower; that was his final victory and he has been chasing over much longer distances; wouldn't be the percentage play. |

10st 10lb |
Hurdle winner is 0-9 over fences but has been in the frame several times up to 3m; might not have stayed 4m at Punchestown last time; a squeak on some of his earlier form. |

Veteran in fine form; good efforts last two starts over fences, second off 123 at Galway and third off 122 at Kilbeggan; 6.5l behind Run For Oscar on his last start over hurdles at Kilbeggan, conceding 5lb to that rival; probably unwise to take that form literally but he's now 9lb below his last winning mark; each-way shout. |

Won over this trip over hurdles but seemed to really appreciate the 3m1f trip when winning a handicap chase here last month; up 7lb and obviously comes here in form but one or two others preferred. |

Up-and-down profile but comfortably won a 2m6f handicap chase at Tramore (good) three weeks ago; up 8lb and this softer surface might not be ideal.

Came clear in a 3m handicap chase at Punchestown but dropped away disappointingly off this 7lb higher mark at Wexford; if he can recapture that penultimate effort then he'd be a player.

Out of the weights when a 14l third at Kilbeggan and off his correct mark (2lb lower than now) he was runner-up at Wexford (2m; probably stays this far); seems in good nick and enters the reckoning.

Maiden hurdle winner over 2m3f; off the mark on second chase start at Wexford (2m); 10lb wrong for handicap debut but rider's claim negates most of that; wouldn't want it to dry out too much. |

Two time hunter chase winner; last sighted in a Kilbeggan novice hurdle where beaten 29L; just 3-1 for handicap chase debut on penultimate start at Ballinrobe but was beaten 14.5L into fifth; cheekpieces worn last time are dispensed with; probably best watched. |

Returned from his break over hurdles and appreciated the return to fences when an emphatic winner at Killarney (2m5f, yielding); handicapper didn't hold back with a 9lb rise but this 8yo might be improving (now 3-7 as a chaser).

Still early days over fences and this should be more realistic than beginners' assignments; however, only ran three days ago and others are safer.
