Veteran whose last victory came back in September 2021. Form had been going the wrong way, but from his tumbling mark he ran better than for a while when third at Perth 15 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Ran to a fair level in bumpers for Michael Appleby in 2022. After 18 months off, hasn't offered much in novice/maiden hurdles for his current yard, but he could show more as he goes handicapping with cheekpieces/tongue strap added to the hood.

Modest form at best over hurdles for Michael Griffin in Ireland and bettered previous efforts for current yard when third at Musselburgh in January. However, has gone backwards from that effort in 2 subsequent outings. Others more persuasive.
