J: Mark Walsh

T: James Joseph Mangan

Hurdle winner was 12l behind Irish Panther on chasing debut at Naas; has been hit and miss since but both his wins in that time have been over C&D so his course form can help him back here; has to rebound from a bad mistake at Fairyhouse last time.

Point and maiden hurdle winner; promising chase debut before clear-cut win in a Punchestown rated novice contest in December (2m, heavy), travelling and jumping well; made a mistake three out and dropped in 2m3f Grade 3 event won by Kappa Jy Pyke; got his season back on track with a 2m win at Punchestown; live chance for trainer who this in 2024.

J: Simon Torrens

T: James Joseph Mangan

Brother to bumper winner Spider Pig, closely related to 2m3f-3m hurdler/chaser Oscar Robertson; dam unraced sister to useful 2m3f-3m2f hurdler/chaser Ellerslie George; won sole point-to-point and won at second time of asking over hurdles in Cork maidens last term when making virtually all (yielding-to-soft) in January; plenty of potential but lacks a recent run and owner has a stronger candidate in Waterford Whispers.

Won a point on sole start in that sphere last March and put up a solid effort in a maiden hurdle at this track over slightly shorter than this last month; should go close today with that experience under his girth.
