One of two for yard; had Kool One 3.5l behind when beaten 11l into second of 11 on chase debut at Wexford 44 days ago, despite not jumping fluently at times; may have needed that and cheekpieces might sharpen up his jumping; preferred by O'Keefe.

119-rated when winning 2m1f Down Royal maiden hurdle at Christmas (yielding); well held in valuable auction series final at Punchestown festival four months later and has had a break since; yard's runners usually expected to improve for the switch fences so greatly respected.

Consistent form before justifying favouritism in a Down Royal maiden in December; not as well suited by the race conditions as the other two on the same weight.

Flat and hurdles winner; not a bad effort when a 14.5l fourth of nine on chase debut at Wexford (2m3f, good, 3.5l behind Los Blanco); didn't quite see the trip out that day so not sure this longer trip will suit.

J: Kieren Buckley

T: Conor David Maxwell

Dual-purpose 5yo gained his third win on the Flat in 1m5f Navan handicap in April, okay run in better-class Curragh contest following month; hurdles win came in 2m1f maiden here last summer, soft ground was probably against him in subsequent handicaps; back on better ground here could go well if taking to chasing.

One of three for yard; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 121; promising start over fences when a 2.75l third at Wexford (2m7f,gd-yld); soundly beaten over 19.5f (good) back there on latest, overlooked by Townend and this trip may be on the sharp side.

Went closest to scoring when just denied in a Punchestown handicap over 2m in January (well-backed) on soft to heavy ground; raced keenly over 3m on return at the same track last month; 5-2 favourite at Clonmel last time but was a disappointing seventh; cheekpieces go on and Cobden rides for the first time so he must be respected.
