Modest form in handicap hurdles, finishing fourth at Downpatrick 77 days ago. Finished 11th of 21 at Punchestown (5/1) 43 days ago, failing to build on previous promise in heavy conditions. Could show improvement at a more suitable trip.

Uncle Gerhard (G)
Ran well in 2022 with a close second and third in handicap hurdles. Eighth of 13 at Thurles (14/1) 29 days ago, shaped better than beaten distance suggests on second start back from a long absence and has slipped below last winning mark.

Chesterbaylad (G)
Yet to win in 10 starts over hurdles with generally poor form, finishing 13th of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (25/1) 36 days ago, never dangerous. Difficult to see significant improvement at current level.
