11st 4lb |
Six-time winner (four chases, two hurdles) holds a 14lb lower hurdles mark and ran a very encouraging race returning from an absence at Killarney when third; entitled to improve on that; interesting. |

Potentially well handicapped given his chasing exploits off higher marks but he is a 12yo returning from a long absence. |

11st 5lb |
Veteran is a three-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D on testing ground off 111 in March last year; 2lb higher now and has been mostly out of form since but he'll get his preferred underfoot conditions here; can't be dismissed. |

Won back-to-back over fences either side of New Year and generally consistent since; beaten roughly 2l at Cork earlier this month and should be a big player back up in trip. |

Rolled back the years to win over fences at Navan in February but didn't stay 4m2f last time in the Uttoxeter Midlands National; races off his last winning hurdle mark, so not ruled out. |

Triple chase winner but has lost his form badly over hurdles and fences, so isn't easy to fancy at present. |

Either pulled up or tailed off in five runs for this yard and 0-16 over timber; hard to recommend. |

13th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 100y |

Three-time winner, in best form just over two years ago; badly out of form in two runs during the winter; needs to show signs of a revival. |
