Listowel handicap hurdle (3m, soft) winner in September; dual chase winner can run in snatches but he has to be respected back over fences for local yard who target this meeting.

Went close in a couple of big handicap chases in his day; did okay a couple of times over banks in the spring; respectable fourth behind Stumptown (won again at Cheltenham since) on the cross-country course at Punchestown latest; enters the reckoning.

Won a handicap chase at Naas in January 2023 off 123; 5lb lower now but has completely lost his form in eight runs since; pulled up in his last three starts over fences; others more likely.

Jacksons Gold
Yet to win over fences but placed four times; potentially well handicapped on his best form, namely a flattering 5l second behind subsequent Galway Plate winner Pinkerton at Tipperary in April; this is a winnable contest but he comes with risks attached.

Bounced back to form when winning 3m2f handicap chase at Down Royal (yielding) in April; a reproduction makes him the one to beat but he's 8lb higher and doesn't have the best of records when fresh; stable in flying form.
