Useful novice chaser when successful at Grade 2 level a few seasons back and contested some valuable contests in that sphere since switching yard. Finished fourth in the Kerry National at Listowel last time out in September and reverts to hurdling here off a 10lb lower mark. Interesting contender if fit for this return.

5/1
Finished third to a well handicapped rival when last seen in action over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month. Was still travelling well when unseating rider two out the time before and looks to have a leading chance despite being held by That's a A Wrap on their Fairyhouse running.

Rattled up a hat-trick earlier in the season and ran well when sixth in a valuable handicap on his penultimate start. Runner-up at Fairyhouse latest (Carrig Cathal back in third) and looks likely to run very well again here.

Finished runner-up at Cork over this trip in a race just under 12 months ago but out of form since on the Flat and over hurdles and plenty to prove at present.

Winner off a 5lb lower mark over 3m at Punchestown in January 2016 and ran well when sixth in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham 12 months ago. Generally disappointing since however and may need some more help from the handicapper before getting his head in front once more.

Secured a double when winning a novice handicap off a 14lb lower mark at Leopardstown and a novice race at Navan in January but disappointingly pulled up at Thurles subsequently and needs to put that poor latest effort behind him here.

Winner off an 11lb lower mark at Gowran Park in January and still in front when slipping up having been sent off favourite there subsequently. interesting to see how he fares in this competitive contest.

Winner of a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown in December 2015 but had just the three outings since and well beaten at both Punchestown and Haydock Park this season. Drops 4f in trip here and ridden by the same jockey as for those two outings.

Sole success came in a three-year-old hurdle at Ballinrobe in September 2014. Put in a couple of respectable efforts at Punchestown and Ballinrobe last spring and makes debut for a new yard off a lay-off here.

Winner and a neck second on his final two outings of the 2015/16 season here and at Wexford respectively. Well beaten on his return to action over 2m here last month and may well struggle off a 10lb higher mark than for his latest success.

Had the run of the race when making all at Limerick for victory on his penultimate start but followed that up with a ½L success at Cork on heavy ground in January. Interesting here off a light weight.

Has been out of form in the main this winter and not much to recommend judged on his effort on the Flat at Chelmsford last month. Last success over jumps came back in February 2014.

Forecasts

That's A Wrap (3/1), Carrig Cathal (5/1), Moores Road (11/2), Thirsty Work (6/1), Peace N' Milan (6/1), Notwhatiam (7/1), Chain Gang (8/1), Rathpatrick (16/1), Three Kingdoms (16/1), Go Paddy Go (25/1), Captainofthefleet (33/1), Hazariban (33/1), Tarabiyn (40/1)

Verdict

THAT'S A WRAP can follow up his solid second to a well handicapped rival by claiming this competitive 2m3f handicap hurdle. The selection races off a 3lb higher mark but had been in good form prior to that and can confirm Fairyhouse running with Carrig Cathal in what looks to be a competitive contest. With plenty in with chances third place may well go the way of the in form Peace N' Milan who races off a light weight here and can get the better of Moores Road for third.
