Was a little below par when he finished fifth in the G1 JLT Novices Chase (4929m) at Cheltenham last time out. That run followed a win in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase (4325m) at Leopardstown two starts back.

Started favourite on the flat last start following a win two runs ago in the G3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase (3218m) at Navan but found a couple better at the end of 4023m at Fairyhouse Might find this too tough.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 8 lengths into fourth in the G1 JLT Novices Chase (4929m) at Cheltenham. Boasts strong second-up stats. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Returned from a lay-off last start on the flat at Fairyhouse when he did not finish the race. Cannot be written off.

Filled a minor prize two back in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase (4325m) at Leopardstown then improved nicely last time to salute by 1.3 lengths in the G1 Manifesto Novices Chase (4023m) at Aintree.

Found winning form at third run back from a break, scoring by 4 lengths in the G1 JLT Novices Chase (4929m) at Cheltenham. This suits and at peak fitness. Can continue the winning form.

Back from a 134-day break. Finished off last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4023m) at Naas, beaten 1.3 lengths. Must include among the chances.

Has tackled small fields at his last couple and racing genuinely, finishing in the minors. Last start ran second in the G1 JLT Novices Chase (4929m) at Cheltenham. Among the chances on recent runs.

Ran in the G1 Mildmay Novices Chase steeplechase (5020m) at Aintree last start and was pulled up. Hard to make a decent case.
