Very smart chaser when at his best but he was well beaten in this 12 months ago and last season's placed efforts were remote ones behind class acts; current wellbeing is a bit of an issue.

Decent sort has two wins apiece over hurdles and fences, including a Grade 2 at Navan last season, his best performance; however, he is rated a long way below all of these rivals and is an unlikely winner.

Career-best form in the autumn this season, including a win at Cheltenham (3m1f) and second to Panic Attack in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f); flopped when favourite in the Grade 3 won by Grangeclare West at Fairyhouse in February, admittedly after 12 weeks off but there's the additional worry of last year's Grand National in which he was 16-1 and raced very prominently but faded steadily from three out.

Conyers Hill

11st 0lb

J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: Paul Nolan

Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed.

Novice win came at Down Royal last season and pick of this season's handicap form when fourth in 2m4f Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and held narrow lead when faller two out in 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick over Christmas; didn't stay 3m1f in Thyestes following month and has had time off since; could go well.

One of three for trainer; trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October on good to yielding; ran a nice race in a Grade 3 Thurles novice chase in March (2m6f, soft) and bounced back from a poor effort at Fairyhouse when a distant second of 20 in a 2m1f Listed contest last time; firmly in the mix.

A 135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo last October; best chase run was over further in a Grade 3 contest at Thurles; never a threat behind today's rival Come Walk With Me at Fairyhouse on latest.

Winning sequence came to an abrupt halt when pulled up at Limerick in the Munster National when last seen in October; better ground an obvious plus and not at all dismissed, despite the almost nine-month absence.

Off the mark over fences when easy winner of 2m4f Limerick Listed handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); out of frame in competitive Leopardstown handicaps twice since, most recently running well for long way and may have got a bit closer but for mistake last; drops in grade, one to consider.

Three hurdle wins include at this track; off the mark over fences when easy winner of 2m4f Limerick Listed handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy) but didn't appear to quite get home over this C&D in Grade Leopardstown Chase last month off 7lb higher mark; not one to dismiss all the same.
