Did well to finish second when resuming two back in a steeplechase (3922m) at Wexford. Improved to salute in a steeplechase (3520m) at Clonmel 24 days ago, arriving 0.8 lengths ahead of his rivals. Hard to support.

Unplaced two starts back in a flat race at Curragh then produced a better result last time when he finished fourth in the G3 Cork E.B.F. Novice Chase (4023m), beaten 15 lengths. Won't find this easy.

Started at lucrative odds but finished third when returning from a spell last start in a steeplechase (3419m) at Navan. Second-up record reads well, with two wins from three runs. Looks tested without improvement.

Impressive winner in a steeplechase (3218m) at Gowran Park first-up two runs ago then wasn't nearly as effective when fourth more recently in a G2 (3419m) at Cork. Might find this a bit too tough.
