INHSC Supporting Point-To-Points Tetratema Cup Hunters Chase

2-12 in points; improved from Limerick run at Christmas when a 25-1 winner of a maiden hunter chase at Thurles in January; handled heavy conditions well, and did well to recover from a bad mistake at the seventh; kept ticking over with a recent run at Kildorrery, no threat in third behind the useful Asian Master.

Three bumper wins, once for this yard, twice for Willie Mullins; three wins over jumps for Mullins before losing his way; has prospered in points this term for his original trainer, winning three from four, the exception a Dromahane third when he made a few mistakes; no disgrace in losing out to the Cheltenham-bound Panda Boy at Naas; can uphold form with Ryehill.

Point winner in 2019 and showed a lot of ability during his time with Henry de Bromhead, the highlight when winning a valuable 2m4f handicap chase at the 2024 Punchestown festival; ran only twice last year; found a new lease of life when winning at Oldtown two weeks ago on debut for Mags Mullins; the capable Sophie Carter keeps the ride.

Veteran has won four times on the track and four times in points; second in this race in 2023 as a prelude to career-best when third (and best of the Irish) in the 27-runner Aintree Foxhunter; did not run in 2024 and lightly raced last year; third of four finishers in a recent Tinahely race; up against it here.

Progressive handicap hurdler for Colm Murphy in 2022 and won a handicap chase in 2023; best of three runs in points for Ciaran Murphy when second to the very useful Wrappedupinmay on his penultimate start.
