Form & Verdict
Useful hurdler at this sort of trip; went chasing last term after missing two years and was second to a decent sort in this race; ran quite well on first start of the season but disappointing since; drop back in trip may help and if he puts it all together he's capable of winning.

Form & Verdict
Point winner whose hurdles form tailed off alarmingly last term after he beat 1-14 fav Kilcruit in maiden here; decent start over fences when third to Mighty Potter at Down Royal but has made mistakes and been rather disappointing in three starts since; has the rating to win but some doubts persist.

Well suited by a slog in the mud but seems badly to have lost his way; needs combination of change of headgear and switch to cross-country chasing to rekindle his enthusiasm.

None too consistent and was well held when falling at Punchestown last time in the race won by stablemate Fortunedefortunata; however, he does have a valuable staying 3m3f handicap in the bag and was looking threatening in the Welsh National in December until he clouted four out (in first-time blinkers that have been retained since); his best days have been on slow ground.

Form & Verdict
Very progressive hurdler in 2021 but jumping has left a lot to be desired in three runs over fences; wouldn't have been far off the placed horses in a decent contest at Gowran last time but for unseating two out and far from hopeless here if he can cut out the mistakes; tongue-tie.

Generally very disappointing since heavy-ground win on hurdle debut in Ireland in 2021, and didn't show a great deal in two 2m3f handicap chases for new stable last month; goes beyond 2m4f for first time under rules here; others have much less to prove.
