Form & Verdict
Won a 2m4f UK point on debut last April before changing hands for 85,000GBP; made an impressive debut for this yard when running away with a Punchestown bumper and the champion amateur gets on board today; probably the pick of his powerful yard's three runners and given maximum respect.

Point-to-point winner who won first two bumpers last season, at Punchestown and Navan; came up short in Grade 1 contests at both Cheltenham and Punchestown afterwards but expected to make his mark hurdling this season and this looks a good starting point.

Form & Verdict
Steady improver built upon his Galway second place when making all to run away with a Punchestown bumper on soft ground last time (Jerry From Kerry was 40l behind); might not get his own way in front on this occasion but has to be given plenty of respect.

Runner-up to Bambino Fever in last year's Champion Bumper; won on hurdle debut at Listowel (2m, good-to-yielding) before 3l second to subsequent Challow Hurdle winner No Drama This End in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft); much too free and jumped untidily in a similar Cheltenham race in January; back to form in winning a four-runner Punchestown event.

Runner-up in the Champion Bumper here (2m, good to soft) last March and won on hurdle debut at Listowel before 3l second in Grade 2 here (2m5f, soft), behind No Drama This End who won the Grade 1 Challow last month; this front-runner is open to improvement if settling better and he's a key player.

J: Mark McDonagh

T: John C McConnell

Only 1-5 in bumpers but finished second in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and that form sets him apart in this company, for all that he was no doubt flattered after racing prominently off slow fractions; hard to oppose on hurdling debut.

By a top sire and won a Tattersalls Farm maiden point in April for Cormac Doyle; made a winning debut for these connections when a ready winner of a Down Royal bumper in November; has to step up on that form in this grade but could do so; one of three runners for yard.
