Smart performer who showed himself better than ever when making winning reappearance in five-runner Grade 2 event at Down Royal (2m3f, good to yielding) last month, comfortably asserting; reliable and tactically versatile; seems sure to go well.

Only 2-17 over fences but one of those wins came in fine style in handicap at the Punchestown festival (2m4f, yielding) in April; faced a stiff task in Grade 1 there (50-1) on reappearance; should come on for that run and he'll be a major player if recapturing his best.

Went off favourite for the Grand National in April and finished a highly creditable fourth; shaped nicely when second to a promising type in 2m5f graduation chase at Haydock last month; may prove best at 3m+ in the long term but he is not short of speed and he has every chance on the figures.
