Arguably a shade unlucky when a beaten favourite in the County Hurdle but rider reported that he stopped quickly when soundly beaten at Fairyhouse last time; Townend jumps ship; needs to rediscover best.

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; beaten favourite in County Hurdle latest but steady pace and not clear run didn't suit so sixth of 23 was a solid run in the circumstances; Townend's pick.

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when 1l second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; entitled to build on that effort and is of major interest in his first handicap, with Paul Townend seemingly preferring him to Murcia and Absurde.

Smart novice last season, winning Punchestown maiden (heavy) and ended season with third placings behind stablemates on much better ground at Grade 1 level at both Aintree and Punchestown; seasonal return and best form would put him right in the mix.

Won a C&D maiden hurdle in January but was beaten a long way by stablemate Kopek Des Bordes in the Supreme Novices'; much better when 8l behind Salvator Mundi in an Aintree Grade 1 but will likely need those rivals to underperform if he is to win this.
