Form & Verdict
Off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Clonmel in June (2m1f, good to yielding) and added a Flat win at Killarney two starts later; returned to hurdling last time following a summer Flat campaign, finishing second in a Killarney novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding); he had Nelson Muntz 4.5l behind on that occasion; leading contender based on that.

Back to form with 1.5l third of 15 behind in-form Arch Enemy at Killarney (11.5f, good) five days ago; might prefer a bit of an ease in the ground, but place claims again off the same mark.

Last year's win in this race came off 1lb lower (soft); winning hurdler has been running okay on the Flat of late but good bit more needed and draw hasn't been kind.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner built on back-to-back runner-up finishes in maiden hurdles to make the breakthrough at Tramore in August (2m, good); jumped poorly throughout the Lartigue when tailed off; this is calmer waters and he could get involved.

Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft).

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer.

Off the mark over timber in decisive fashion at Kilbeggan last month (2m, good to yielding); showed a tendency to jump right at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) when third, so a return to a right-handed track can help him; has 4.5l to find with Tassarolo based on their meeting last time, but may appreciate this new trip.
