Racing for the first time since he finished second in a novice hurdle (4325m) at this track on September 20. Bold showing expected while fresh.

Fitter for two runs from a spell. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when fifth in a steeplechase (4928m) at Punchestown. Building to a win and gets chance to break through.

Struggled when dropping back in trip in a hurdle at this track latest. Others look better placed.

Found the frame two back in a steeplechase (4727m) at this track then could only manage seventh last time in a steeplechase (5129m) at Wexford, beaten 17 lengths. Right in the mix.

Returned from a 230-day spell last start with a solid third in a steeplechase (4425m) at Tramore, with today's rider Kieran Callaghan aboard. Key runner - don't underestimate.

Missed the frame the start before last in a steeplechase (5129m) at Wexford then could only manage seventh most recently in a steeplechase (5029m) at Roscommon. This looks too tough.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (4727m) at this track then again missed out in a steeplechase (4928m) at Punchestown last start. This looks too tough.

Returns from a lay-off. Last went to the races nine months ago when he failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (4727m) at this track. Ideally placed to find the winner's stall.

Safely held latest finishing fourth but beaten 19 lengths in a steeplechase (3922m) at this track. Shapes nicely on latest run and among the hopes again here.
