12st 0lb |
Acts on soft; a leading staying novice hurdler last term and the same as a novice chaser this season, although he did not show it with first-time cheekpieces at Cheltenham Festival last month (scoped dirty); tops the weights after his Graded events but a win today is not entirely ruled out, as it's long appeared that an outright test of stamina would suit him well. |

Won last year's Albert Bartlett and has developed as expected switched to fences this season; won at Exeter and Sandown (3m Grade 2, soft) before third in Cotswold Chase here (3m1f, good to soft) against more experienced sorts; fast finish that day would not have suited and cheekpieces go on now; the one to beat if stamina comes into play, as it often does in this race. |

Ended last season one of the country's leading staying novice hurdlers when runner-up in 3m Grade 1s at Cheltenham and Punchestown; reappeared for successful chasing debut at Galway (2m6f), warming to his jumping on heavy ground in beating Favori De Champdou, the pair clear from some way out; potentially high-class staying novice and every chance he'll confirm that form here. |

Last year's Albert Bartlett third is 0-4 chasing this season but smart level of form, including 10l second to Embassy Gardens in Grade 3 at Naas and when fourth to Fact To File in Brown Advisory at same venue last month, still novicey in jumping; more needed and jumping has to be more fluent at this level. |

Third to Stay Away Fay in last year's Albert Bartlett at big odds; yet to match that level in three runs over fences, brushed aside by Embassy Gardens when wearing first-time tongue-tie (retained here) at Naas 45 days ago; return to this track needs to bring about serious improvement. |

Has raced only on softer than good; ran well (fourth) in the Albert Bartlett over 3m here 12 months ago but failed to show his form when back at similar trip on latest chase start; promising record at 2m4f over fences, winning twice then solid third in Grade 1; however, he's the wrong age according to the stats (no horse older than eight has won this prize). |

Irish maiden point winner; only defeat over hurdles came in the Grade 1 Challow and there was a lot to like in how he won an Ascot handicap (2m7f, good to soft) a month ago, especially as he continued to hang left for pressure; this track will suit and he has the required stamina; still looks very vulnerable for win purposes, though. |

He has to improve markedly upon his last three performances (3m/3m1f, soft/heavy) to make an impact today; however, before those he stayed on well for third of four on his chase debut in a hot novice at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) and today's expected return to better ground could help him tap back into that promise; on an attractive mark on the chase debut form. |

18th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Flopped when back over hurdles at Bangor (2m7f, soft) on reappearance in November and his best form has come over fences; however, he's entitled to respect in view of last season's very useful efforts in staying chases. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 7y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
0-4 over hurdles; has come a long way over fences since, with his only defeat last season coming in a Grade 2 on good ground; impressed taking a 3m Uttoxeter handicap (3m, soft) in March on final start and that's narrowly the best form in this line-up; he's just a 5yo, too. |

27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 130y |
11st 1lb |
Won a Naas maiden over 2m3f before running poorly in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham; bounced back to run a fine race over this trip at Fairyhouse and could have further improvement. |

Had progressed with each run, getting off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Naas, prior to a poor showing in the Albert Bartlett last time; not obviously well treated from this mark. |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Fourth in last season's Champion Bumper here; turned over when odds-on for his first two hurdle races (2m5f; just over 3l behind Corbetts Cross in the second) and it was a very winnable maiden that he picked up at Naas (2m3f, soft); however, the demands of this race can spike significant improvement and it would be no surprise if he ran his best race yet. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Second-season novice who ran in this last year, pulling up at 33-1; has managed to win three times this campaign (including two 3m Grade 3s on deep ground) but there's no convincing evidence that he's a whole lot better than he was 12 months ago; the cheekpieces that have worked well in last three runs are replaced with blinkers (tongue tied for last six runs). |
