No impact when tried in Listed company last time but this is easier; won his maiden in fine style at Killarney in July (11.5f, good); the runner up and fourth from that race have both won since; he looks potentially well treated on handicap debut on that form and his dam won a Listed race at this distance; leading claims.

An 82 rated filly ran her best race to date last time when narrowly denied at Tramore (12f, yielding); the visor worn that day is discarded and blinkers go on; she didn't look the most straightforward of rides the last day and this drop in trip and quicker ground raises question marks; however, she can't be fully discounted.

Inferior Flat form to a few of these but he's making a name for himself over hurdles and has a similar profile to Quantock Hills (with whom he's closely matched on bare form), having looked on an upward curve until fading away in a Grade 2 here in January; that was his first time on soft ground (won on good and good to soft) so there's reason to believe he'll run better this time; the tongue-tie worn throughout over hurdles is joined by cheekpieces that he wore once on the Flat (finished sixth).

Looked ordinary in two Flat runs but has been a revelation over hurdles, winning three of his four races, the first two for Joseph O'Brien; found plenty to force a dead-heat with Quantock Hills over C&D (good to soft; unraced on softer) last month; this is a stiffer task but he's hard to discount.
