Form last season featured victories over Billaway and Its On The Line; outstayed by Its On The Line at Down Royal at Christmas before unchallenged win at Thurles; ran much too freely and did not jump fluently at times at Cheltenham; suffered a surprise reverse when failing to cope with Boss Robin at Fairyhouse. |

12st 0lb |
One of the best hunter chasers in recent seasons; won at Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals in 2022 and landed this race a year ago when outstaying Vaucelet; ran top hunter Its On The Line close at Naas in February but well behind that rival when fifth at Cheltenham and flat effort at Punchestown last time; probably on the decline at this stage but still a huge player here. |

Won this event two years ago, beating Vaucelet; unseated at fourth last season, when the race was won by Its On The Line; made a bright start to the season when narrowly beaten by Its On The Line at Naas (a race he had won in four consecutive years); almost 12l behind Its On The Line at Cheltenham; seems to be past his peak now but remains very capable. |

Absent for two years before three respectable efforts this season, even if he was beaten a long way in the latest of them; fourth in this in 2019 but hard to see him matching that now. |

12st 0lb |
Made a race of it with Vaucelet when runner-up at Portrush on the back of a huge layoff (693-days) in October; clearly retains plenty of ability and if he can reproduce that effort, he won't be far away. |

Won a maiden hunters' chase Limerick two seasons ago and has amassed six wins in point-to-points including Castlelands Open last month (beating recent Cork hunters chase winner Dinny Lacey); had Sizing Diamond well behind when third in Down Royal hunters chase since; easier task here and the one to beat. |
