J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: T Hogan

Placed in four of seven bumper starts and in all three races over hurdles; weakened after a mistake at the last at Sligo; should be sharper for the run, his first since last November.

T: T Hogan

Placed in four of seven bumper starts and in both starts over hurdles; seems to run best on good ground, so any ease in the ground might be a negative; may need this after a break.

0-7 under Rules; placed in three of his six starts in bumpers; beaten just 2.5l when runner up at Punchestown on latest (16.5f, gd-yld); sole run on softer than good was below par so may need the forecast rain to miss.

J: Mr Alan O’Sullivan

T: T Hogan

Placed in two of his four completed starts in bumpers and has kept decent company; made a bright start over hurdles when third behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance at Roscommon late last month; could go well back in this sphere.
