Willie Mullins’ 6-year-old achieved a peak rating of 107 on the Flat and has been unlucky to bump into some decent types in his 2 starts over hurdles so far this season. He was beaten just half-a-length by Highland Charge at Naas last time out and that winner has boosted the form by winning a grade 3 on his next start. In a race that lacks any significant depth, he should gain a deserved first win over obstacles and could be a horse to follow in handicaps at the Spring festivals in the next few weeks.
