J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

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.

Form & Verdict
Scored on debut in a six-runner heavy ground Punchestown bumper last season; well beaten on hurdling debut at Wexford; stayed well a 2m3f Punchestown maiden on soft to heavy; had enough pace to win over 2m1f at Clonmel but should have enough stamina for this; big drop in class now after running in a 2m6f Grade 1 at the DRF.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Gordon Elliott

Scored on debut in a six-runner heavy ground Punchestown bumper in February; well beaten on hurdling debut at Wexford, but appeared to benefit from a step up in trip when winning a 2m3f Punchestown maiden on soft to heavy; had no trouble landing the odds when dropped to 2m1f at Clonmel but appeals as a likely staying type.

Maiden ran a cracker to be second on chasing debut here but wasn't as good since at Kilbeggan; has a bit to find with some of these.

A distant runner-up in a bumper at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding); beat very few rivals in three runs over hurdles; started over fences with a respectable run at Down Royal recently.
