Last year's King George winner struggled in just three starts afterwards, pulled up after poor round of jumping in Cheltenham Gold Cup, again none too fluent in Punchestown Gold Cup and never landed a blow back over hurdles in Grand Course de Haies d'Auteuil in May; hard to assess right now and current rating questionable.

Unraced beyond 3m, seen most often at about 2m; the three runs over 2m6f/3m among his last six starts have all been good, including second in the Galway Plate and third in the Kerry National, but this reliable 10yo would still have to show himself in a very new light for a prominent finish today.

Admirable sort equally effective over hurdles and fences, winning Red Mills Hurdle on this card back in 2019 and most recent of five chase wins came in 2m6f Thurles Listed contest in December; rare below-par effort when tough task at weights over inadequate trip in Grade 3 Limestone Lad Hurdle on latest but should run his race here.

A dozen career wins for this admirably tough performer, including most recently in a Listed chase at Thurles at the beginning of last month; won a weaker version of this race last year and undoubtedly wants further, but he's not alone in that; looks sure to run his race.

Former Grade 2 novice winner; needed the run at Clonmel in November after a lengthy absence; put in an encouraging display when third in the Thyestes; let down by his jumping in the Bobbyjo Chase, ending up a long way behind Now Where Or When who is rated 17lb inferior to him.

Classy sort has endured absences from action in the last two seasons but showed he is as good as ever with two solid runs this term; is closely matched with Carefully Selected on Thyestes running but best form is on softer ground.

Took well to fences 2020/21 season, winning 2m6f Grade 2 at Punchestown and second in Limerick Grade 1 event; ran only once last season; struggled in good company in the Clonmel Oil Chase on return, but will be a lot sharper now; first-time cheekpieces, as well as tongue-tie worn before; rider's claim a major plus-factor.
