Sole win over the larger obstacles came at Downpatrick in May in a 14-runner beginners contest over 2m3f but has struggled of a higher mark since. Tough ask.
Improving with racing and broke his hurdling duck at the fifth attempt when winning on heavy ground at Tramore when last seen in April. Looks a progressive type and likely to go well on chasing introduction.
Course winner that has won over this trip. First two appearances over the larger obstacles have been impressive including a win earlier this month at Downpatrick.

Forecasts
Moonball (4/5), Teqany (11/4), Monatomic (9/2), Fleurys Fort (20/1), Whatsinthecorner (25/1), Indian Music (66/1)
MOONBALL has been nothing short of impressive on her two starts over the larger obstacles including a win earlier this month at Downpatrick and the trainer is in good form right now boasting a 22% (four from 18) in the last 14 days. Biggest danger will be expected to be the Gordon Elliott-trained Monatomic on chasing debut while, Teqany and Fleurys Fort can battle for the minor honours.
