Form & Verdict
Having dropped down the weights this C&D winner returned to form when second over C&D (heavy) four weeks ago; he was just over 6l behind Wor Verge but, now 2lb lower, is 8lb better off with the winner and is one to consider.

Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to soft), and was placed off 10lb higher on the outer track here (2m1f, soft) in November; impossible to rule out but has become unreliable and was safely held here twice last month.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on this month's chase and seasonal debut but he was a consistent novice hurdler last season, and won two in a row over C&D in March (good/good to soft; six-runner novice then three-runner handicap); also effective on soft; could be a contender now back over hurdles.

Down the field at Punchestown and Down Royal the last twice and soft ground may be a negative; however, he's run well on this season's two visits to Britain, including a win at Perth in September, and is not ruled out.

Has an all-or-nothing profile, mostly disappointing since winning at Perth (2m4f, good) in September; on the plus side, he should encounter ideal conditions here and can now run off a 3lb lower mark.

Has dropped below the mark off which he won at Perth last September and this Northern Irish challenger is one to watch in the betting, but his form has been mixed since that win and he tailed off at Ayr last time.

Form & Verdict
Won over C&D (good to soft) last month and followed up over C&D (heavy); having gone up 6lb for last time this 9yo is now on a career-high mark, but he had just over 6l to spare from runner-up Applaus and he's in the form of his life; has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten over fences at Down Royal (2m, yielding to soft) three weeks ago and he may not want soft ground; however, he's on a competitive mark judged on this season's best hurdle/chase form on good/good to soft going, and he could have a part to play if conditions suit.
