Let down by his jumping on his recent chasing debut, clear chance on December hurdles form

Not at his best over fences last time, otherwise consistent since last autumn, fair chance

50-1 when falling at the first in a Cork race in which Hakensack was second, no appeal

Veteran has the merit of two course wins over fences, 0-35 hurdles record is a negative
