Okay runs in handicap hurdles of late, 5yo now tries chasing

Jumping let him down on recent chase debut, better ground here could see improvement

Recent Clonmel run augurs well providing she handles these quicker conditions

Good hurdles form here earlier in the season; needs to jump better but time on his side

Not discredited at Kelso latest but more needed to play a major role here; has his ground

Out of depth on recent chase debut; this looks more realistic but quicker ground not ideal

Recent return to fences at Down Royal was poor so plenty of questions to answer
