11st 12lb |
Bumper winner; mishaps first two runs over timber, unseating at the first at Thurles then falling with the race at his mercy at Cork; put in a clear round last time in a Grade 3 at Naas (16.5f, sft-hvy) and lowered the colours of Blake by a neck; should go well again if as effective on this quicker ground (bumper win on good). |

Out of an unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Binocular; overcame inexperience to win Thurles bumper a year ago (good) but flopped in Grade 2 Aintree bumper following month; unseated at the first on hurdling debut at Thurles in November and following month looked set to score (clear of subsequent Grade 2 winner Kazansky) when falling at the last in Cork maiden (soft-to-heavy); remains a potentially smart sort, could go well. |

Beat Zeus Power (improved since) on hurdles debut at Thurles (2m4f, good to yielding) in November and couple of decent efforts on heavy; soon beaten however in 2m5f Grade 1 Turners Novices' at Cheltenham (Zeus Power third), but definite claims here down in grade. |

Beat Zeus Power (improved since) when drawing clear on hurdles debut at Thurles (good to yielding) in November; consistent on heavy when second to leading BetMGM Cup fancy Storm Heat at Limerick (also 2m4f) and fourth in 2m6f Leopardstown Grade 1; those efforts still leave him with a bit to find. |

Leopardstown maiden winner has contested Grade 1 novices all three starts since, notably remote fifth to Doctor Steinberg at same venue and better form on latest at Aintree in 3m1f Sefton Novices' when decent fourth in first-time cheekpieces (good-to-soft); this probably a stronger race so more needed. |

11st 12lb |
Showed ability in bumpers last season for Pat Doyle; started this season well with an emphatic bumper win at Limerick in November on heavy; kept good company in two races in winners' bumpers for this stable (last of seven in Grade 2 at DRF); well held by Newbrook Diamond on the form of hurdles debut at Punchestown. |

Showed ability last season for Pat Doyle and successful return when making all for runaway win at Limerick in November on heavy; switched yards and again made plenty of use of but came up short over C&D at Christmas on better ground, albeit solid run; return to testing conditions should suit but this looks a tougher task again. |

Above-average bumper winner; successful at Clonmel and Tipperary on either side of a satisfactory run in Grade 1 at Punchestown; should be ready for this sterner test after a Cork maiden hurdle win achieved readily, despite clear signs of inexperience. |

Irish bumper winner who has finished second on two of his four hurdling starts for Olly Murphy, latterly in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; below that form on heavy ground in February but this much quicker surface ought to suit him better; good chance. |
