In good form this spring winning a Grade 2 contest in France prior to finishing third in a Grade 1 event. Latest effort came when runner-up in the Galway Plate over C&D earlier this week and is likely to prove hard to beat today.
Finished runner-up off a mark of 140 in a novice handicap chase at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) in April. Disappointing over hurdles subsequently and work to do if he's to reverse Galway Plate running with stablemate Shaneshill here.
Made a winning debut over fences when successful over 2m1f at Killarney (good) in May. Steps up in trip today and likely to find this tough on just his second start over fences.
Beginners chase winner at Limerick (good) over 2m2f last month. Well beaten in a novice contest at the same course subsequently and likely to struggle at these weights.

SHANESHILL ran well when finishing second in the meetings feature contest over this C&D on Wednesday and he can go one better by taking this conditions event. Willie Mullins charge comes out best at today's weights and can get the better of previous C&D winner Road To Riches who finished behind the selection on Wednesday. Arbre De Vie, a stablemate of the selection can claim third here.
