William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Handicap Chase

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve.

Won over hurdles at Clonmel in January; solid runs in defeat in handicap chases at Clonmel (2m, heavy) and Limerick (2m2f, heavy); effective on good-to-yielding when a C&D winner last summer; second reserve.

Second of four finishers at Limerick last time; three-time hurdles winner; maiden over fences; stable also has the second reserve and a guaranteed runner; third reserve.

Weak form over fences until coming good at Leopardstown early this month, with the returning Favori Logique in third; something amiss at Fairyhouse last time, never in contention and pulled up; 5lb higher than for Leopardstown win; could bounce back to form; 7lb claimed.

Gained a second chase success with a good display over 2m2f at Thurles in February; pulled up at the same venue on next start; jockey lost an iron at an early fence at Fairyhouse, and was unseated four out; blinkered for the first time now.
