Built on Kilbeggan fourth when winning over 2m at Wexford, further progress is possible

First chase win was gained at Roscommon recently at the 17th attempt, up 7lb, vulnerable

Seems to be gradually returning to the level that earned him a Wexford win 12 months ago

Should strip fitter with the benefit of a hurdles run five weeks ago, others appeal more

Last season's Limerick win seems to have been a flash in the pan, 4lb out of the handicap

Was 10lb lower when winning at Kilbeggan in June, jumped poorly and pulled-up last time

2-23 over fences, jumping was none too fluent at Tipperary on his first run after a break
