Form & Verdict
Graded winner over hurdles and if he runs to his rating he will win; he was well beaten in the Galway hurdle when last seen (2m, good); his seasonal return at Tipperary when 7.25l behind the talented Jesse Evans prior to that was not too bad and his fourth in a Grade 1 hurdle at Punchestown in May was decent (23.5f, yielding); age might be starting to become a factor but he is the one to beat.

J: Sean D Bowen

Aged 11 but he's a seriously unexposed, dark horse on Flat; smart hurdles form in Grade 1s in August 2024-May 2025; three Irish maiden races are all he's contested on Flat, when runner-up twice last year (2m/1m6f) and winning by a short head this August (2m) but he's not been hit hard with this opening Flat mark and having Willie Mullins as his trainer demands respect.

Form & Verdict
Better chaser than hurdler with a much lower mark over timber but has been running consistently in both spheres; returned to chasing at Galway last time and still involved when unseating at two out; he is 0-11 on Flat but has some decent runs, including a 2.25l second of 11 in a handicap at this track last summer (16.5f, yielding); can't be ruled out.
