Returned to action at Roscommon 16 days ago and won a beginners chase (2m½f, good) in nice style. Handicap debut here and strong claims on that evidence.
One win from six outings over fences, was a bit below best when last seen jumping at Tramore in October but has three recent Flat runs to ensure he's ready for this return.
Modest record of 3/55 under rules, he is anything but reliable but his current handler is a master of finding winnable races for just this type of horse. Was runner-up to Patricks Park last time at Roscommon and is now 8lb better off for that 4½L reverse.
Ran well on second chase start at Clonmel in March (2m, heavy) when a 22L second of nine. Needs a bit more now going handicapping.
Well beaten off in Naas beginners' event in November when last spotted, has since joined this powerful yard. Trainer is noted for improving these types and worth a look in the betting on handicap chase bow.
Well beaten on reappearance at Tipperary (2m1f, good) recently and needs plenty more, still looks a bit high in the ratings though repeat of Thurles run from October would have him in the firing line.
Has run just once since October 2015, being pulled up at Clonmel (2m3½f, yielding, soft in places) in December. Hardly ideal preparation and there's no apparent reason to be confident for this latest return.
In-and-out performer who is capable of a big run if putting his best foot forward. That has to be taken on trust however and tame effort last week at Kilbeggan (2m4½f, good to yielding).
Ten-year-old was a late convert to chasing and has struggled in three starts, makes handicap debut now and has plenty work to do.
Unplaced in four beginners' chases so far, rarely threating to leave a mark. Switches to handicaps now and there could be more to offer, worth a watch in the market.
Remains winless after 19 starts under rules and yet to even find a place, was beaten almost 20L in a 2m1f handicap chase on good ground at Tipperary this month.

Game Puppeteer (9/2), Dawerann (9/2), Bellgrove (9/2), Mullinavat (5/1), Templemichael (7/1), Patricks Park (7/1), Blackwater Bridge (10/1), Knockraha Prince (11/1), Moonunderwater (14/1), Arthamint (20/1), Beautiful Ben (20/1), Shouband (20/1)
Dawerann will be expected by many to avenge his recent defeat at the hands of PATRICKS PARK at Roscommon recently. The Elliott runner has been going along nicely of late and while his overall profile is no inspiring, it will be no surprise should this handler find a race for him to win. He's weighted to go close to turning around the form but the selection showed big improvement on return from a layoff on what just a second chase start and could well have more up his sleeve again now handicapping. Bellgrove and Game Puppeteer are others worth nothing while it would be no shock at all should Mullinavat improve his lot over fences now in the care of this new handler.
