4	Very much going the right way when winning over this trip at Fairyhouse and having still been in contention when making a bad mistake latest, he looks well worth a chance to resume progress. 2nd Pick 4 Themanintheanorak (Ire) Jockey: M.

20	Thriving this season, exploiting lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in January following back-to-back chase wins at Clonmel. Still in good form when fourth in listed novice handicap chase last time and remains one to be interested, returning to calmer waters. 3rd Pick 20 Kobalt St Georges (Fr) Jockey: Phillip Enright Trainer: Robert Tyner, Ireland J: Phillip Enright T: Robert Tyner, Ireland	99	-	-	-	10%	10/1
