Won 2m5f/3m handicap hurdles last year and in good form when last seen in May, runner-up in 3m Tipperary hurdle and Kilbeggan beginners chase; has form on soft so won't mind rain. |

Placed form this time last year was on softer ground and recent runs haven't been encouraging; interestingly, was well backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse on penultimate start so keep a close eye on the betting. |

Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |

Course winner on soft ground in October last year off 90 over 21.5f and 2lb lower now; best run since when beaten 6.25l over this C&D in August but no impact in two runs since; visor now tried instead of cheekpieces and hard to know what to expect. |

Given a very positive ride by Carl Millar when winning on first start for new yard at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in June; given too much to do when respectable fourth at that venue last time from 6lb higher; he has won around here in the past and Millar is back aboard now; big player. |
