Better known as a four-time winner on Flat, should be better for his return in December

Given a chase mark of 122 after Limerick novice win, obvious chance off 8lb lower

Placed in five of his six starts since last September, fair chance of reaching the money

Beaten only a neck in this race last season, a return to that form would see her involved

Needs to step up considerably from his handicap debut over C&D, still early days for him
1	Cloonainra Brown J:Dylan Kidd(2) T:John C McConnell	J:Dylan Kidd(2) T:John C McConnell	166	—	15-159	120	125	-	36d	—	—	+13	19.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Listowel novice chase winner, back hurdling now after two poor chase runs in Britain

No sign he can recapture the useful standard of form he showed around this time last year
11	Halsafari Bay J:Harry Sexton T:James M Barcoe	J:Harry Sexton T:James M Barcoe	140	—	010057	94	122	81	27d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+11	13.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%

Third at this venue last March, has failed to reproduce that form, 6lb out of the handicap

Showed some promise in maidens, that has not been borne out in two handicap attempts
