Winner over this trip at Ffos Las in May, since been chasing over the summer but was poor switched back to hurdling at Bellewstown yesterday over short trip.
Can be forgiven last-time-out effort on the Flat at Galway, winner in two of previous three over timber and strong claims if seeing out this new trip.
Three wins from eight starts over timber but comes into this having taken tired falls in each of last two outings at Aintree and Bellewstown over much shorter trips. Risks attached as such coming off 55-day break.
Good winner over 3m at Tipperary in July, making it two from five over these obstacles and perhaps best to draw a line through poor run in valuable Galway handicap hurdle since. Should be competitive.
Just one previous run over hurdles and better known as a chaser, two-time winner in that sphere but form gives him work to against some smart hurdlers here.

Forecasts
Rashaan (1/1), Cap D'Aubois (7/4), Dedigout (3/1), Wakea (5/1), Heist (12/1), I'm An Izz Wizz (25/1)
Cap D'aubois remains unexposed and it would be dangerous to write him off given his connections, despite a very flat showing at Galway last time. He may leave that behind. Dedigout is not getting any younger and waited a long while now between drinks, but he shouldn't be underestimated at this level regardless. That said, the pick on form remains RASHAAN twice a winner over hurdles this year already and surely the one to beat if stamina holds for this attempt at 3m.
