Progressing over fences and he easily landed handicap at Punchestown (22f) in January. Impressively followed up back over hurdles here three weeks ago so rates a player with better still to come.

Bridie's Beau (G)
[T1]
Latest win in chase at Clonmel in December but he came in last of 11 in handicap chase at Naas 55 days ago. Stable in good form so could bounce back with tongue strap added.
