Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |

Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race. |

Won a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer over 2m and was third in handicaps at Tramore (2m5f, good) and Galway (2m1f, good to yielding); not at same level in more recent runs, tailed off at Tramore last time (2m1f, good to yielding). |

Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out. |
