A useful winning hurdler but not so good over fences for Willie Mullins, only 12th at Ballinrobe in May. Starts out for a new yard with more needed after a break.

Verdict
It's now 15 runs since last win in 2019 and he came in only eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) when last seen out 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Picked up a second win of the season in 14-runner handicap at Worcester (23f) last time. Up 4 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Dual scorer last season, signing off with another victory at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) in April. Has acquitted himself with credit after a break previously so ought to be thereabouts.
