One of eight for trainer; point and bumper winner two seasons ago and won his maiden hurdle here early last year (2m4f, heavy); much improved display, compared to poor opening chase start here, when successful at Fairyhouse in January (2m1f, yielding), beating a better-fancied stablemate; had the run of things when third of five in a Navan Grade 3 novice last time.

T: W P Mullins

Point and bumper winner two seasons ago; won a Punchestown maiden hurdle (2m3f, heavy) early last year before being tailed off in the Albert Bartlett; lack of stamina probably a significant factor in a poor chasing at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy); much more like it when making all and jumping well to beat a shorter-priced stablemate over 2m1f at Fairyhouse.

One of three for trainer; cost 300,000GBP after winning a point; followed up in a Gowran bumper (2m2f, heavy); took a Punchestown maiden hurdle on third attempt over timber (2m3f, heavy); made an inauspicious start to chasing career at Punchestown last month when tailed off (2m7f, heavy); surely better than that and Townend rides.

T: W P Mullins

Cost £300,000 after winning his point (3m, soft) and he followed up in a Gowran bumper (2m2f, heavy); improved with each of his races over hurdles but he wasn't that impressive last time when winning a Punchestown maiden (extended 2m3f, heavy; second has won since); may prefer testing ground.

jumped left on occasions, took keen hold, raced in second and hung left, disputed lead from 5th, pressed leader before 7th, led going best before last, went clear when ridden run-in, reduced lead towards finish, always doing enough
