Five-time Flat winner (including here) is 1-28 over hurdles; last two runs in this sphere poor but shaped well on the level at Killarney four weeks ago; just 1lb above sole hurdles win so place chance but hard to fancy for win purposes given his modest strike-rate. |

Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

Five-time winner was wonderfully consistent in defeat on AW over winter/spring, placing in four consecutive runs at 1m4f-2m; continued that form back on turf at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft) in May when again a runner-up; a visor replaced the previously worn cheekpieces at Navan (1m5f, good) last time and resulted in a victory; up 5lb but he's a player. |

Beaten a long way on last two Flat starts, in July 2023 and this February (stable debut); therefore has something to prove but he showed useful form as recent as last May and will be a strong contender if tapping into that ability on today's hurdle debut; the betting may be informative. |
