Listed winner over hurdles made the ideal start over fences with a comfortable success over 2m5f at Killarney in May; jumped left and probably didn't stay effectively behind Reverend Hubert at Punchestown; will be more at home over this shorter trip than most and likely to go well.

Form & Verdict
Five time winning hurdler is 1-5 over fences; won a beginners' chase at Thurles (16.5f, soft to heavy) in February; finished a creditable fourth in the Turners Novices' Chase at Cheltenham; superb run in the Galway Plate latest, beaten just 1l in third off 145; would be conceding 3lb to Churchstonewarrior in a handicap but gets 5lb from him here; obvious chance.

High-class hurdler; has won only one of his nine starts over fences, a Thurles beginners' event the season before last; fell at the fourth in the Ultima at Cheltenham on his final start last season; had a Flat run in May; third to Pinkerton in last year's Galway Plate; beaten almost 20l in seventh behind stablemate Western Fold in Wednesday's 2025 edition.

Form & Verdict
1-7 over fences; that win came in a Grade 2 Novice at Navan in February 2023 (3m, good to yielding); however, has failed to complete his last three chase starts; moved yards since finishing seventh in a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown; back from 106-day break but he goes well fresh and he has the class to feature if putting in a clear round.

Extended his losing sequence over fences to 23 when pulling up at Downpatrick but he did go close the time before at Tramore (2m6f), so can't be ruled out with any confidence.
