Stable in superb form lately, a shade disappointing at Listowel but well worth considering

0-13 over hurdles but appeals as a place prospect following a sequence of promising runs

Just denied at Down Royal in a first-time tongue-tie, open to further improvement

Gave encouraging display when third of 20 at Galway, could feature if replicating that run

Well handicapped relative to last season's progressive chase form, trip may be inadequate

No further success since back-to-back victories for Cathal Byrnes in July 2021, no appeal

Fair fifth on penultimate run but veteran's long losing sequence looks likely to continue
