Had become disappointing over hurdles until winning at Wexford in May; turned over on chasing debut at Kilbeggan but made no mistake in a Limerick beginners', winning easily; seems the yard's first-string, so respected.

Flashes of smart form for Willie Mullins but a 10yo now and hasn't yet threatened a breakthrough win for the Moores; needed to run a lot better than he did at Kempton two weeks ago.

Useful for Willie Mullins; 0-5 for current yard, beaten in a veterans' event when last seen; however, this drop in grade may have positive effect, off a reduced mark.

Form & Verdict
Classy hurdler has taken to chasing with gusto, improving from his debut to win at Kilbeggan and Wexford; made up a lot of ground on the run-in but just held in a Grade 3 novice at Galway last time; had 4.5l to spare over Ganapathi on that occasion; solid chance.

Decent hurdler didn't fulfil his promise in that sphere but has taken well to fences, winning twice at Wexford (2m-2m4f); a solid third last time in a Galway Grade 3 novice but has 4.5l to find with Call Me Lyreen from that run.

Runner-up three times in a row in February-April, including in a quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, good) and when losing out only narrowly to Half Shot at Kelso (2m7f, good); subsequent 22l defeat over C&D came in a stronger race than this; one to consider.

After dropping down the weights he's run really well to finish second on his last three starts (2m4f/2m7f, good/good to soft); edging back up the handicap but every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.

Third runner for yard; a 124-rated hurdler fell on chasing debut at Navan last November but won a beginners chase at Galway on first run since; that was over 2m6f but this trip should be fine and is entitled to improve again.

Form & Verdict
A 130-rated hurdler and has run well in that sphere twice lately, including in a valuable Galway handicap; posted identical RPRs both chase starts, with his well-held second over 2m1f here boosted by the winner's decent showing in the Galway Plate; still needs more.
