Found two winnable opportunities in small-field novice chases at Down Royal and Punchestown; well beaten in a competitive novice handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in between; hard to assess in the context of this race, but looks the first string of the McManus quartet and is respected. |

131-rated hurdler was third to Wodhoodh in last year's Martin Pipe; won rated chase off 124 at Down Royal, pulled up in valuable novice handicap at the festival here last month; pulled up over hurdles on sole previous try over 3m, but that was on bad ground. |

Hurdles winner was soundly beaten in opening three chase runs; well backed when winning a Down Royal rated novice chase last time (2m5f, good to yielding); likely capable of more. |

Wide margin winner of an ordinary contset at Wexford in March; mixed bag since and not done many favours by his jumping at Galway latest; small field and possibly slower gallop may help but more needed in any case. |

Things haven't gone to plan since a wide margin beginners' chase win at Wexford (3m1f, soft) in March; unseated and pulled up in handicaps at Punchestown and Kilbeggan; also beaten in three runner novice chase at Punchestown (3m1f, gd-yld); a bit to prove for now. |

Dual winner; no real match for Raglan Road in a three-runner contest at Punchestown last month; still relatively unexposed and not one to take lightly. |

11st 3lb |
Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival. |

5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected. |
