Seven-time winner, including four over fences; ran a fine race over the orthodox fences when second in a 3m7f handicap at last season's festival; made all to win a Wexford handicap last August before pulling up in the Kerry National; remote seventh behind Desertmore House here in November.
Second in the 2023 Grand National; third in successive editions of the Glenfarclas at the Cheltenham Festival, last year when around 8l behind stablemate Stumptown, this year 20l behind another stablemate Final Orders; remote sixth behind Desertmore House here in November; much livelier display when beating The Goffer in February, major chance.
Beat Desertmore House in this event in last year when trained by Joseph O'Brien, for whom he won five chases in all, including the 2022 Kerry National; well below best when fifth behind Desertmore House here in November, tailed off at Cheltenham in November, had a first spin for Enda Bolger over hurdles and an inadequate trip at Cork; not ruled out.
Close second to Busselton here last year on cross-country debut; looked in fine shape when beating The Goffer and subsequent Cheltenham winner Final Orders over 3m here in November; pulled up over hurdles the following month; dropped away from the 23rd of 31 obstacles at Cheltenham; obvious chance if on song again.
Stays well, won a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe two seasons ago; won a chase on good ground at Wexford last summer; pulled up in the Ulster National a month ago on first run since a 12l second at the Listowel festival; first attempt at this course.
