Five-time winner and very consistent over flights; no match for Joyeux Machin in a 3m hurdle at Wexford; respectable debut over fences when second in a beginners at Kilbeggan; should improve for that and be a factor here. |

Conversion rate of just 2-27 over fences; several long absences following his last win in summer 2023, and hasn't been since a 47l last of five finishers in this race last year; best watched. |

Started off for Kerry Lee with two pretty good thirds in early part of last season, the latter over C&D on good ground, but was pulled up in refitted cheekpieces (retained) on next two outings and it's hard to know what to expect from him after a 200-day absence. |

Won three in a row early in 2023; has finished second in three of his five starts since returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines; backed up a promising Windsor run when staying on well behind Monbeg Park over 2m5f at Leopardstown last Sunday; would have been closer but for interference; extra distance should suit. |

Won three in a row early in 2023 (including here) and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October; better again on latest when chasing home a hot favourite in 2m6f Windsor handicap in January (soft), having been hampered run-in; back up in grade here but only 1lb wrong and likely major player. |

Won three in a row early in 2023 and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October this term; two lesser efforts over 3m at Navan have followed (the Troytown on first occasion) but he needs a second look for his highly respected stable. |

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |
