Two wins over hurdles (good/yielding); useful form in defeat over fences this season, cutting out a lot of the running before fading into third over the extended 2m4f here (good to soft) last time; shaped similarly over 2m3f at Doncaster in December and this slightly shorter trip could suit.

Form & Verdict
Won a Flat handicap off 70 on heavy last year; thrown in very much at the deep end in a Leopardstown Grade 1 on his hurdles debut (blood in his nostrils post race); difficult to assess but any rain that falls will help and horses from this yard are always well schooled; not discounted.

Placed in a French bumper; highly tried in two runs for this yard and tailed off in both those races; caused havoc when weakening quickly at Leopardstown three weeks ago; drop in class might help but no surprise that Townend prefers Zenta.

1-15 on Flat with the win coming at Roscommon in 2024 (1m4f, soft) off 64; decent efforts over hurdles this year and shaped with promise back on Flat at Gowran last time when fifth (1m6f, good to yielding); will appreciate any rain.

Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground.

Flat winner; placed in three maiden hurdles early in his career; modest form overall in handicaps; Punchestown run in January was encouraging, not beaten far in fifth in a 16-runner event; fair third over 2m at Gowran last time, worth considering.
