Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  127| C
Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Yet to reach that level over fences but goes handicapping now and likely has more to offer.

Matched pick of his hurdling form when winning 12-runner novice chase at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft, 9/1) 50 days ago, kept up to work. Sent handicapping now and remains open to improvement.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft, 33/1) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Navan in December. Eleventh of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy, 20/1) 34 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Limerick in December. Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, heavy, 9/1) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. One of likelier contenders.

Not disgraced when sixth of 17 in handicap chase (12/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 6 days ago. Figures off a handy mark and drop back in trip looks a good move. Respected.

One win from 25 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form fourteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.7f, good, 50/1) 48 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Work to do.

Forecasts

Slanagaibhgoleir (3/1), Happy Dreams (7/2), Beckett Rock (5/1), Klass Langy (6/1), Mount Frisco (7/1), Dont Go Yet (12/1), Mighty Jeremy (14/1), Soloman Lane (14/1), Casey West (16/1), Petit King (25/1)

Verdict

This can go to SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR, who opened his account over fences at Down Royal over Christmas and likely has more to offer yet. Beckett Rock and Casey West rate the principal dangers.
