Useful hunter chase form at the age of 11 in 2023, third in the Aintree Foxhunter and in the championship event at this meeting; has been struggling this season after a long absence.

Veteran has won four times on the track and four times in points; second in this race in 2023 as a prelude to career-best when third (and best of the Irish) in the 27-runner Aintree Foxhunter; did not run in 2024 and lightly raced last year; third of four finishers in a recent Tinahely race; up against it here.

T: Denis Paul Murphy

Forner Paul Nicholls-trained gelding; worked his way back to form in points before producing a good effort behind Vaucelet's talented stablemate Ferns Loch at Gowran; ran a blinder at 40-1 when third in the Foxhunter at Aintree; could go well for trainer who got a winner on the board on Tuesday.

Runner-up to a top prospect in a Gowran hunter chase last month (first time in a tongue-strap); balance of form suggests he'll struggle.
