Sky Bet Extra Places Amateur National (Q.R.) Handicap Chase

Five wins between hurdles and fences; last win was in November 2023; his last four runs have been over hurdles off a much lower mark; chance is not obvious.

Two wins over hurdles; sole win over fences gained in this event 12 months ago; failed to land a blow in the Kim Muir; in rear over hurdles at this venue on seasonal debut; struggled in a test of stamina in the 3m6f Porterstown at Fairyhouse; 7lb higher than last year; up against it.

In fine form over fences early last year with back-to-back soft-ground wins in the rated chase on this card and Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); moderate fifth over hurdles on seasonal return at Fairyhouse; two chase starts since have been uninspiring.

Two chase wins on heavy in the 2023/24 season; failed to find his best form last season; pulled up on Cork return; more like it when second to a shorter-priced stablemate at Navan four weeks ago, that showing gives him a slight edge over Showurappreciation who may improve; Bigbraveboy and Verdant Place were further behind.

Improved his modest strike to 2-38 when scoring at Limerick last time; placed on 13 occasions and could reach the money again off a 5lb higher mark.
