Impressive Punchestown maiden hurdle winner on soft last January and best run since came in a Ballinrobe conditions event; should strip fit after a decent Flat run recently but has a bit to find at these weights.

Ran consistently well when sent over fences last term, culminating in a ready win in a similar contest at Wexford where reapplied cheekpieces seemingly had a positive impact; four of these were behind him there, but he's 8lb higher now and wouldn't it to dry out too much.

Hurdles rating of 113 leaves him with a lot to find in this company; tailed off in a Thurles conditions hurdle in March and not much better in two most recent handicap chase starts; exceedingly unlikely.

Did well to win 2m2f Listed handicap chase at Cork off 119 in 2023 but hasn't run to that level since, most recently when too keen in first-time cheekpieces at Tipperary last month; handicapper quite slow to relent.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer finally got off the mark over hurdles at Punchestown in May but was below his best in a Galway novice last time; well beaten on the Flat since but has a fine chance at these weights if back to his best.

Three wins at around 2m in Ireland and latest was over fences for Willie Mullins in June 2023; record of 0-8 for current yard but he rallied well when a creditable third here (2m, good) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but he's well treated on his old form and needs watching in the market; tongue-tie back on.

Another previously useful ex-Mullins horse who's yet to score for this yard; some fair efforts, though, including when second of six at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) at the start of the month; drops back in trip and also needs considering from a career-low mark.

Hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mullins but is 0-6 since joining current stable and returning from long absence; failed to derive benefit from going back over fences the last twice; current mark reflects a decline in his form (20lb higher at his peak).

Form & Verdict
Ended last season in top form, winning valuable handicaps over fences at Gowran and hurdles at Cork, both on heavy; comes out best at these weights and forecast soft ground is in his favour, so a major player if fit enough on return.
