Form & Verdict
Trained by Colin Bowe when touched off in point-to-point last year before fetching 155,000euros; clear with winner in Punchestown bumper in November but following month looked a tad one-paced in similar Leopardstown contest and has been given time off since; this trip looks a good fit on hurdles debut and likely major player.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Inconsistent since opening chase account in a beginners' at Naas in December (2m4f, heavy); ran well when a 5.75l fourth of 14 in a valuable handicap at Punchestown in February but pulled up at Cheltenham on latest; capable of better and preferred by Jack Kennedy.

J: Mr B O’Neill

T: Gordon Elliott

Inconsistent in this novice campaign but ran well when fourth of 14 at Punchestown (3m3f, heavy) last month and that performance can be upgraded, as he was outpaced in the straight in that slowly run race but rallied strongly in the closing stages; it's almost certain there will be a better gallop here and he could be seen to very good effect up the Cheltenham hill.

Accounted for two Willie Mullins-trained runners to land a 2m4f Naas beginners' chase in December; failed to build on that in a 3m novice contest at the same venue; fell at the sixth in a DRF handicap; one of six for the stable; has plenty of weight and others may stay better.

Improved to win a 2m3f bumper at Downpatrick in August; jumping was not his strong suit when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at the same venue last month, but the winner did the form no harm whan a close second in a Galway novice hurdle last weekend; this looks a much more difficult assignment though.

Did not show a great deal in a Tramore bumper and jumped slowly throughout when well held behind a better-fancied stablemate in Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last month; bit to find but has to be respected from top yard.
