Form & Verdict
Won his first four starts divided between bumpers and hurdles, including a Grade 2 (2m, soft) by 19l; sent off joint favourite along with Constitution Hill for the Supreme at Cheltenham only to fall three out when travelling well; had excuses when later flopping at Punchestown; keen-goer who likes to get on with it and this is very much his distance; could be anything over fences.

Free-going sort; smart novice hurdler and equally good novice chaser last season, though no match for stablemate El Fabiolo on a few occasions in Grade 1 races; odds-on for Navan return in February when well held in third behind the 9lb-conceding Captain Guinness; beaten when falling at the last in Leopardstown event won by Dinoblue at Christmas.

Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to predict over hurdles but eyecatching form when edging out Cash Back in a conditions hurdle in April (2m, heavy), posting RPR of 143; probably failed to stay 2m6f on his switch to fences at Thurles but even so he could have shaped better than he did; will need a whole lot more this afternoon.

Very useful hurdler in his prime but this 10yo isn't the same force nowadays and was no match for Jet Plane in a hunter chase at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
His main claim to fame is beating none other than Galopin Des Champs in a novice hurdle at Gowran two years ago; their respective careers have subsequently headed in very different directions and, while he fared respectably in some decent handicaps last season, his recent chase debut at Navan was fairly forgettable (at 28-1); this looks no easier.

Form & Verdict
Classy juvenile hurdler in 2020 but without success since joining the older ranks and has become hard to place; makes sense to have a crack at chasing but this is a tough starter and he lacks the same scope for improvement as some of these; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Sole win over fences came in 3m Mayo National in 2024 on good ground; good second in Galway Plate that summer but last year's form was poor; pulled up after never counting on return from long absence in Irish National; hard to be confident in although has ground to suit.

Useful novice hurdler last season without being in the same league as Dysart Dynamo; finished in front of Sea Ducor on last month's introduction to fences at Navan (2m1f, soft) but he was left for dead by the principals; surely relying on the favourite fluffing his lines but he could be best of the rest.
