Form & Verdict
Twice runner-up in handicaps this season over 2m, including at Navan last time, running on; unproven over this trip but shapes as if it will suit, so looks a player.

Poor in two chases and a hurdle since returning from an absence of over two years and not easy to fancy on that form.

Maiden after 7 hurdle runs but some decent efforts, including when beaten 15l at Tramore last time; needs a fair bit more and seems the yard's second-string.

Five-time Flat winner; 0-8 over hurdles but having only his third race for Charles Byrnes and better was expected of him when last seen in October (2m2f, good) as he went off favourite; would be of strong interest should his backers return.
