Form & Verdict
Bolted up in a French bumper on sole start for Yannick Fouin and looked like a top prospect, winning with any amount in hand in a maiden hurdle at Naas on debut for this yard; likely improver again and has already shown he handles testing ground; leading claims for last year's winning yard, although the drop in trip might not be ideal for him.

Unproven at this trip and reportedly never travelling when pulled up in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month; however, he's won at this meeting in each of the last two seasons, landing the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' Chase last April (2m4f, good to soft; Jango Baie third), and he produced a top performance in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this February; could bounce back with big run for last year's winning trainer Willie Mullins.

A fine hurdler whose three Grade 1 wins included the Ballymore at this meeting in 2023; has reached the same standard over fences, winning at the top level at Aintree (about 2m4f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last April, and he was ultimately quite convincing in a tactical race at Gowran (about 2m3f, heavy) last month; his form doesn't yet match that of stablemate Fact To File but he is considered for a place.

Form & Verdict
Looked good when winning a C&D novice hurdle on her penultimate outing; couldn't build on that when only third of seven at Thurles since in Listed company; peak form is on better ground and she's going to have to improve to win this; tongue-tie on.

Form & Verdict
Wide margin point winner before £68,000 sale at Cheltenham in April; made easy work of her Rules debut in a mares' bumper at Limerick prior to improving for a step up in trip on hurdle debut back at Limerick 19 days ago; keen that day and while a shorter trip may help her settle here, there's a suspicion she will come into her own over further than this distance.

She'll find it hard to beat a peak-form Panic Attack and she was pulled up in the Irish National 16 days ago; however, she was running well in January, in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy; albeit no match for the first two); no surprise if she bounces back with a good performance today.

Had a good season as a novice last term, four wins included 2m4f Grade 3 Tipperary novice and finished third to Dinoblue at Cheltenham; reappeared with a fine third in the Galway Plate in July; pulled up in Kerry National when reported with atrial fibrillation and signs of being in season; jumped untidily when predictably no match for Dinoblue at Fairyhouse.
