J: Brian Hayes

One of eight for trainer; point and bumper winner two seasons ago and won his maiden hurdle here early last year (2m4f, heavy); much improved display, compared to poor opening chase start here, when successful at Fairyhouse in January (2m1f, yielding), beating a better-fancied stablemate; had the run of things when third of five in a Navan Grade 3 novice last time.

Point and bumper winner two seasons ago; won a Punchestown maiden hurdle (2m3f, heavy) early last year before being tailed off in the Albert Bartlett; lack of stamina probably a significant factor in a poor chasing at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy); much more like it when making all and jumping well to beat a shorter-priced stablemate over 2m1f at Fairyhouse.

One of three for trainer; cost 300,000GBP after winning a point; followed up in a Gowran bumper (2m2f, heavy); took a Punchestown maiden hurdle on third attempt over timber (2m3f, heavy); made an inauspicious start to chasing career at Punchestown last month when tailed off (2m7f, heavy); surely better than that and Townend rides.

Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival.

0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase.

Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount.

Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added.

Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip.

Fifth foal; closely related to French 10.5f/1m4f AW winner Sermandakfi, half-brother to winners Sermando (1m4f/1m7f Flat, RPR 76; 2m4f hurdle) and Relco Galaxy (Italian 1m 2yo); dam Italian 1m2f winner out of French Listed-placed 12.5f winner; obviously respected from these quarters and likely one of the market leaders.
