J: Shane Foley

Very solid sequence last spring/summer on ground ranging from good (unraced on firmer) to heavy, including a dominant display from the back over 2m at this track; 7lb higher mark today demands a career-best Flat performance but he was bang there in blanket finish to a good handicap hurdle last month and it's not hard to think that this trip will suit.

Dual-purpose type won 2m Ascot handicap off 92 last summer; good run over hurdles in competitive Punchestown festival handicap and that should have brought him on.

J: Nico de Boinville

No hurdle wins since January 2022 but won on the Flat at Ascot last year; didn't show much back over timber at the Dublin Racing Festival last time and others are more convincing.
