Joshua Tree 4yo cost 5,200euros as a 3yo; second foal; half-brother to 2m1f hurdle winner Welonlyhavedone; dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Rio Treasure; didn't count when midfield on recent Sligo debut; better for that but still probably best watched. |

Flat winner in Germany was poor in that sphere at Galway but has a squeak on some of his hurdle runs, notably a fifth at Punchestown in June; the hood and tongue-tie are new. |

11st 11lb |
Improved form since this hood went on, comfortably defying a penalty in novice hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January before respectable efforts in 2m Listed/Grade 3 races; however, further improvement is needed back in a handicap and he has to prove his stamina. |

Both wins have been at Down Royal, notably in first-time hood when ready success in rated novice in January (soft); last of four however following month in steadily-run Punchestown Listed novice maiden in November (8l off runner-up Lazare De Star) on softer ground; good bit to find here and ground remains a concern. |

Point winner; won two bumpers last season (one of them at this venue) before found wanting in Grade 1s; clinically abnormal when beaten at 1-5 on hurdling debut at Down Royal; made amends in a 2m4 Grade 3 event here in November; jumping let him down at Cork in December; reported to have been struck into on left fore; |

Point-to-point winner who won first two bumpers last season, at Punchestown and Navan; came up short in Grade 1 contests at both Cheltenham and Punchestown afterwards but expected to make his mark hurdling this season and this looks a good starting point. |

Up 7lb following neck win at Naas last time on handicap debut in a first-time tongue tie (retained); needed every yard to get up that day but those involved at the finish have been placed subsequently; cheekpieces go on now; may improve again and big chance of following up. |

5yo who has raced four times, all over hurdles, and he was winning for a second time when powering clear in a big-field handicap at Fairyhouse (3m, yielding to soft) this month; today is a tougher test of his credentials but he was impressive last time and could be up to the task. |
