Winning hurdler is 0-5 in chases but has run well in defeat, including at this venue over 16.5f (good to yielding) back in January; won at 2m6f over hurdles but has stamina to prove for this trip; doesn't look a certain stayer on breeding and others appeal more.

Five-time hurdle winner won a Galway beginners' chase last year but hasn't been as good since; however, there was more encouragement at Kilbeggan last time and he drops in class today so isn't dismissed.

Five-time hurdle winner, 1-5 over fences with sole win coming at Galway a year ago; been struggling since; showed up reasonably well before fading markedly at Galway eight days ago so this step back in trip could suit; needs more, though.

Prolific over hurdles (5-11) but is just 1-5 over fences; that win came over C&D (good) in a beginners' at this meeting last year (Donnie Devito third); lost way afterwards but given a break and should be sharper for a spin on the Flat at Bellewstown 29 days ago; not discounted in first-time blinkers.
