William Hill Ten Up Novice Chase (Grade 2)

Winner of 3 of his 6 starts over hurdles and impressive when taking the Florida Pearl at Punchestown in November. Poor when 33¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Grangeclare West in Neville Hotels Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, soft, 3/1) 44 days ago. Can bounce back.

Useful chaser (successful return here). 25 lengths fourth of 5 to Gaelic Warrior in Faugheen Novices' Chase (13/2) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 45 days ago, finishing weakly. Up in trip. Bit to prove now once more.

Smart winner at 22f over hurdles. 11/10, didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner novice chase at this C&D (heavy) 22 days ago, comfortably. The 2022 Albert Bartlett second seems sure to go well.

Smart hurdler. 2/7, improved when winning 5-runner novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.4f, heavy) 41 days ago, readily. More to come up in trip and lots to like.

Useful chaser. 200/1, 39¼ lengths last of 6 to Il Etait Temps in Irish Arkle Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft) 8 days ago, refusing to settle. Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Would be a surprising winner.
