Form & Verdict
Has found his way over fences, winning at Worcester and Warwick last month; tends to idle in front so difficult to gauge how much he has in hand but 3lb rise for the latest success shouldn't stop him going close again.

Regained the winning thread at Stratford (3m3f) last time; remains well treated on historical data, such as his success off this mark in this race two years ago; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Just five career starts, all in Ireland; placed in two points and won a Tramore maiden event from two hurdle outings last summer (for Willie Mullins): not totally disgraced on recent stable debut in a tough contest and intriguing contender now tackling fences with Brian Hughes booked.

Won well over 3m on testing ground last winter; questions after being pulled-up on last two starts wearing blinkers; cheekpieces replace them today.

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when winning by 9l at Fairyhouse in November (3m); his Bangor third was okay but he ran no race in the new blinkers at Downpatrick three months ago.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins early in 2022 but then absent for a year; pulled up on chasing debut in March but better effort until falling over C&D three weeks ago (looked set for second); can be considered if none the worse for that.

J: Sean Bowen

Three-time hurdle winner during 2021-22 season; out form over fences when last seen in late 2023 but has been given a good chance by the handicapper and the booking of Sean Bowen makes him worth a glance in the betting; suited by good and soft ground.
