Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner, the handicap off 6lb lower; struggled in beginners' chases won by some classy sorts and was in the process of running better in a Navan handicap when taking a heavy fall three out; below par back over hurdles last time; confidence might be an issue.

Ran well over hurdles in July but well behind last time at Navan, that after a pull-up over fences; only 4-41 overall and opposable in a race of this nature.

Not at his best since second to the high-class Saint Roi at Galway last season; was promoted to 133 as a result of that display; now 15lb lower, showed signs of a return to form when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month; slightly disappointing at Galway this year but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner.

Form & Verdict
Won this 12 months ago off 6lb lower (2lb wrong here) but Shane O'Callaghan's claim deals with that and his latest run over hurdles wasn't too shoddy; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win over hurdles despite showing promise; made a slow start over fences but seemed to appreciate more patient tactics when getting up in the nick of time over C&D in April (soft); essentially only 2lb higher with Mike O'Connor taking away 5lb and good ground is fine for him.

Better chaser than hurdler, winning three of 20 chase starts; 0-10 over timber but is rated 17lb lower; winner of a Kilbeggan handicap chase in April (2m4f, yielding); unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark at that track last month when 17l fourth of 13 (18.5f, good); could be thereabouts.

Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises.

His fifth defeat over fences when coming up just short at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good to yielding) having looked the most likely winner of that race; up 4lb but he was clear of the remainder; his turn looks near.
