Form & Verdict
Quality hurdler, placed in Grade 1 company though has only a maiden win on his record; was having only his second attempt chasing when landing 2m2f Galway beginners' last month in good style, generally jumping well and asserting run-in to win going away; tongue-tie fitted here for the first time and big chance of a follow-up.

King Of Kingsfield

11st 7lb

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Gordon Elliott

Won three of first five races over fences, including a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, but has made mistakes and run poorly at Cheltenham and Newbury since; perhaps he'll be revived by a break and cheekpieces, but he has plenty to find on the figures.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Won two in a row this summer when back over fences (2m2f/2m1f, good) and landed a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) last week; seems versatile ground-wise and he's a key player today.

Form & Verdict
Rated 5lb inferior to King Of Kingsfield over hurdles; good level of form chasing but jumping remains an issue, faller when in command at Roscommon, none too fluent when making all at Tipperary and again made mistakes when well held in strong renewal of Grade 3 Galway novice dominated by stablemates last month; hood tried last time persisted with.

Winning hurdler and chaser; rated 133 over timber; soundly beaten in chases at Galway and here when last seen last summer; has since left Willie Mullins; lacks a run and owners' retained rider JJ Slevin prefers Blizzard Of Oz.

Rated 141 over hurdles and similar level chasing after two attempts this summer; well clear when fell in Roscommon novice won by Itsalladream and again none too fluent at Tipperary when making all over 2m1f (yielding); 5yo a work in progress as a chaser and will have to jump better in this grade; hood tried.

Is 0-12 under Rules; best efforts have come over hurdles at this venue; not a bad effort on chase debut at Tipperary in July; soft ground may not have suited on latest at Ballinrobe; could do better back at this track.

Form & Verdict
Winner here over hurdles and three-time chase winner but has looked regressive of late and lots to find with the two principals on ratings.
