Won a 4yo hurdle in France on testing ground but was well beaten on Irish debut in April after almost a year off; is capable of better and can't be ruled out from this quarter.

Dual chase winner last term and good third to Daily Present in 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham; has struggled in big handicaps this season, exception a never-nearer remote third in Leinster National; never really recovered from bad early blunder when pulled up in Irish National on latest; others look more reliable.

Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; not at the same level in four runs since, including when always behind and pulled up at Leopardstown last time; needs to show some spark.

Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; hasn't been at that level since and was beaten a long way in the Paddy Power here last time, so has to do much better.

Form & Verdict
The 2022 Grand National winner was a fine 4th in last season's renewal after occupying the same position in the Gold Cup; is less effective over hurdles but should be able to win this to start back on the road to Cheltenham and Aintree again.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Emmet Mullins

2022 Grand National winner and fourth in it (again on good to soft) last year when he was hard work from out the back and never got near the leaders; hurdling on last three starts, winning a Grade 2 but coming up well short when the cheekpieces (which had served him well hitherto) were restored at Cheltenham one month ago; just 1lb lower than last year but his strength of stamina will presumably be well served by a slog in the mud.

Form & Verdict
Has shown ability in two of his four maiden hurdle runs (both at Listowel) but is rated only 105 and has loads to find in this company.

Decent bumper winner last season improved from his Gowran hurdling debut to win a Cork maiden hurdle last time over 2m1f; has a bit to find with Noble Yeats but is race-fit and is likely to stay this trip.

He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival.
