Point-to-point form is modest; however, he was in the process of running an excellent race when unseating at the last on his hunter debut at Cork; failed to sustain that improvement when fifth behind today's rival Kiwi De Cotte at Ballysteen 12 days ago.

Useful form in points since getting his jumping act together (fell twice last year); twice runner-up since Cragmore win in January; cheekpieces on now; fair chance if avoiding error.

Has won both completed starts in points, pulled up on the other two occasions; had Begger back in fifth when scoring at Ballysteen 12 days ago; stable in flying form in the last fortnight; Jack Hendrick claims a valuable 7lb.

Showed some ability on track for Mouse Morris and has a fair record in points, two wins and three places from six attempts; however, failed to make an impact at Limerick in December on his only hunter chase debut, down the field again at Tramore recently.

One win and nine places in points; needs to find extra after Cork fifth; top point-to-point rider Rob James is enjoying a great run of form and is now the best 5lb claimer in the business, having recently lost the right to take off 7lb.
