Making his chasing debut tonight at Punchestown in the 6.20.
Looks like he is going to go off a very short price, 4/6 tissue price.
Looks like the ground is going to be heavy too so will be a hard slog out there.
I’m guessing this might be the last chance saloon for this horse. On paper and on all known form he should easily dispose of this lot, but he’s not the most trustworthy and I certainly will not be shifting a penny in his direction.
Best watched if you have any reservations at all.
If not, be a hero.

You called m"lud! Should be 1/2, should be suited to a 21/2m pace,
Should skip round! Should win easily! £50 to win £40 i aint got the bottle
with this fellow i"m afraid!So who is going to beat him then boys?! Personally thinks he’ll win but has had problems!
More saloon visits appear in order.
Never out of a hack canter – as his form demanded against his plodding rivals.
No regrets.

Classy display.
Like you say, against plodding rivals . but the horse can only win against the opposition that is put up against him.
A pleasing run.Interesting that Denis O`Reagan was so praising of him and expects a big improvement when he runs at 2 miles. Couldn`t really fault the performance.

I’m amazed anyone could say he wouldn’t win this which was near on the equivilant of a bad seller. Horse has had his problems but he finished a head in front of Quevega and 3 lengths behind Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi on his last run.
If any of that lot had run in that race they would have been tailed off without a shadow of a doubt..
If he is over his problems he could go to the top and be a lively contender for the Arkle.
He has one huge plus going for him and that’s the ease in which he travels.
I doubt if there are many horses in training with a higher cruising speed than him.However he has failed to find anything in a finish too many times now over hurdles.
I reckon whatever he did when he injured himself in Katchit’s CH has left a mark on him or at least is or was still bothering him the last time he ran over hurdles. He certainly never stopped like that when he beat Big Zeb and Osana over hurdles.
Could be something in his back that only flares up when he’s under severe pressure/has to quicken up, who knows? but if the same thing happens over fences he’ll be beaten by the first decent chaser he meets.
