William Munny

J: Sean Flanagan

T: Barry Connell

Unseen since taking the runner-up spot behind Kopek Des Bordes in last season's Supreme Novices' Hurdle (2m, good to soft); that was just his fourth hurdles start after placing in his opening two maiden hurdles at Leopardstown and Fairyhouse and comfortably winning a Listed novice hurdle (soft) over this C&D before his Cheltenham run; contender if running to his best but it would be a huge performance to win this after 416 days off.

William Munny

11st 7lb

J: Sean Flanagan

T: Barry Connell

Respectable third in sole Grade 1 attempt (final start in bumpers); opened his hurdles account with an effortless Listed novice win at Punchestown (2m, soft; went clear on the bridle) last month when ridden by Sean Flanagan for the first time and settling better than previously in this sphere; now goes in first-time hood as an extra measure, which allies with the likely strong pace; peaking at the right time and looks set for an interesting rematch with Workahead, who beat him at Leopardstown in December; owner-trainer landed this prize two years ago with a horse ridden by Michael O'Sullivan, who very sadly lost his life recently and is honoured in the race title today; a fitting success is conceivable, with further improvement likely.

Smart bumper form, winning at Navan (beat C'Est Ta Chance) and Naas before fine third to Redemption Day in Grade 1 event here; reversed form with that rival when second in a strong maiden on hurdles debut at Leopardstown; good chance here on the strength of seconds to the promising Kawaboomga at Fairyhouse; room for improvement in his jumping.
