Dropping to 2m and switching to hurdles could bring out the best in this Gordon Elliott-trained performer, who looked a suspect stayer when sent off 7-2 and finishing fifth in a valuable 2m4f handicap chase at Killarney last time.

Previously trained by Nicky Henderson, he runs off a mark of 140 here – the same rating off which he finished second to the talented Langer Dan in a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Aintree in April.
