Form & Verdict
Two wins on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien; well held all four starts hurdling, out of depth in novice company last twice; upped in trip here for handicap debut and of limited appeal although better ground may suit.

Dual-Flat winner is 1-15 over timber, the win coming off 6lb higher at Ballinrobe two years ago; well below that level last autumn and probably best watched on seasonal return.

Form & Verdict
First reserve; much improved on handicap debut when winning over 2m at Limerick in January (soft) and ran well over same C&D in March when staying-on third; big step up in trip now but comes from a staying family so good chance of getting 3m.

Dual winning hurdler has returned from a 496-day break with letters representing her three form figures since; pulled up at Punchestown before falling here when in midfield (2m5f, yielding to soft); pulled up again at Punchestown last time; best watched for the moment.

Two chase wins; went close at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); twice placed from three visits to this track; shaped quite well for this when fourth at Limerick ten days ago on first run after a break; made a lot of the running then, every chance with fitness advanced.

Two-time chase winner, including here (2m2f, good to yielding); went close off 1lb lower at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); lacks a recent run but goes well fresh; a drying track would enhance his chance.
