Flat and hurdle winner ran a cracker on return over 2m4f here, his fourth chase start; can improve from that and is a major player if staying this trip, though he is Flat-bred so there's a doubt. |

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022 but she went close over hurdles here (2m6f, good; Tupelo Mississippi fourth) on recent stable debut; that was a big run after 288 days off and she's respected back over fences; tongue-tie removed. |

Point-to-point and hurdle winner; fell at Naas and reportedly never travelled when pulling up at Wexford in her two chase starts; cheekpieces now reached for after a heavy defeat over hurdles at Roscommon earlier this week; hard to fancy on recent form. |
