Form & Verdict
Won valuable Goffs Land Rover Bumper on debut at the 2022 Punchestown festival; maiden hurdle scorer at the same venue last November; creditable third in Grade 2 contest at Naas and second to Good Land in Grade 1 at Leopardstown; heavy ground is a concern following his failure in Aintree Grade 1 on soft; meets Joyeux Machin on 10lb better than handicap terms.

T: Gordon Elliott

Staying-on second in a Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) on this day last year, before running a shocker in Aintree Grade 1 (3m, soft) in April; won a three-runner race at 1-12 on reappearance in November and withdrawn twice since on heavy ground; surely still brings potential at this sort of trip and is very much one to note on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Two wins for Declan Queally; joined this stable after winning a 2m4f claimer at Clonmel in September; two satisfactory handicap runs since then; faces a massive task against Absolute Notions and Joeyux Machin at these weights.

Close second over fences at Catterick in January (1m7f, good) but mainly poor efforts since, the latest in a selling hurdle.

J: Mr Felix Foster

Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him.

Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted.

Modest form since winning a Tramore maiden last season; out of her depth in this company.

Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song.

Wins have been divided between Tramore and Wexford, all on decent ground; long losing run however and continues to struggle off plummeting mark.

Cruisin Susan

Won twice last year and is 7lb below her last success but she is hard to fancy on what she has shown on her last three runs, though she faced an impossible task on latest.
