11st 12lb |
Impressed last season on winter ground; especially when winning the 2m Red Mills at this venue; disappointed on much better ground in the Champion Hurdle; same when last of six behind Honeysuckle at Punchestown; made a dramatic return to form when beating Klassical Dream and Honeysuckle in the Hatton's Grace; extra five furlongs now; should win if staying. |

Impressed last season on winter ground; especially when beating Darasso in the Red Mills at Gowran; disappointed on much better ground in the Champion Hurdle; same when last of six behind Honeysuckle here at the festival; his chance would be improved if the going deteriorates. |

Former top novice who won the Tolworth Hurdle and the Supreme Novices' in 2018; also successful at this level in the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham three seasons ago; ran only twice for Tom George in 2021 and did well against that background when fourth in a conditions event at Punchestown after Christmas; possibly retains enough ability to be competitive here. |

Useful mare at a less demanding level; ran creditably when third in a Grade 3 contest at Leopardstown but again unsuited by the race conditions here. |

Lost his way in good company last season after gaining Grade 1 chasing honours in the Drinmore; smart hurdler in the past, winner of the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle two seasons and fourth to Flooring Porter in the Stayers' Hurdle; return to hurdling failed to do the trick at Leopardstown after Christmas; blinkers now instead of cheekpieces. |

Won the Drinmore at Fairyhouse last term; bounced back from a heavy fall in a Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown when runner-up in a Grade 2 novice at Navan but well below form in two subsequent starts towards the end of the season; talented and goes well fresh but it would be a surprise if he was up to this test. |

No further success in only seven outings since winning the Galway Plate in 2020; creditable fifth in last year's Irish Grand National but has otherwise struggled, including over hurdles at Tipperary last summer; well below best since in valuable staying handicaps over fences. |

Won the Thyestes on this day last year; unplaced favourite in the Boyne Hurdle; sixth in the Grand National, did not seem to stay after showing up well for a long way, but connections seem to be targeting the race again; pulled-up in a Pertemps qualifier on reappearance; much more like it when winning a 2m4f Limerick contest a month ago. |
