Is turning into a much better chaser than hurdler; won a Down Royal novice in January before readily winning a Grade B novices' handicap over C&D two weeks ago; is likely still improving and has to command major respect. |

Wide-margin winner of beginners' event at Clonmel in December but mixed form since; second in a six-runner handicap on penultimate start; not consistent enough to be a betting proposition in such a competitive race; one pound out of the handicap. |

Wide-margin winner of beginners' event at Clonmel in December but mixed form since, more encouraging run latest when chasing home an odds-on shot in 2m4f Naas novice handicap; hood now tried and not certain he'll relish this stamina test. |

Dual hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott ran his best race over fences for this yard when second in a Navan handicap in January over 2m4f; might not have stayed 2m7f back there last time and has the rating to run well back in this company. |

Two hurdle wins for Willie Mullins in 2020, obtaining a mark of 142; well beaten in six completed chase starts for his current stable, all in decent company; in touch when falling four out in a Grade 3 event here in January; should find things easier now in his first handicap. |
