8yo has won this race for the past two years on soft and yielding ground; soundly beaten in both starts in handicaps this term, but connections have likely targeted this race and could make a bold bid.

145-rated staying hurdler; good form in valuable handicaps at Aintree and Haydock in the spring; claimer-ridden when winning a 1m6f maiden at Killarney 13 days ago; could make his presence felt in his first handicap.

Very smart performer; acquitted himself extremely well when second in very valuable handicap hurdles at Aintree and Haydock in the spring; just outpointed by the smart Gaoth Chuil in a similar contest at Leopardstown last month for this rider; the one to beat.

J: Luke McAteer

T: Paul W Flynn

3-3 on the AW but effective on turf and won easily on return from a 107 day break at Leopardstown in May (1m4f, good) off 8lb lower; had excuse when third of 13 (1.75l behind This Songisforyou) off revised mark at the Curragh latest (fly leapt from stalls); well-drawn here and in the mix once he behaves himself at the start.

Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted.

No win since 2023; big chance off this mark on best runs over 1m6f/1m4f last season and though well beaten in both runs this term, they were over an inadequate trip; this distance much more suitable and Colin Keane takes over; interesting.
