T: Gordon Elliott

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; 0-5 so far chasing this term but much more encouraging run on latest when second to the classy Oscars Brother in Grade 2 Ten Up Novices' at Navan last month; jumping still requires attention but is 13lb lower than hurdles here in first handicap chase.

J: Mark Walsh

T: Gordon Elliott

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; now has serious questions to answer after his first four chase starts; remote seventh in Leopardstown event won by Koktail Divin (previously beaten by Oscars Brother at Punchestown); needs to jump a lot better than in 2m4f Gowran event; longer trip should be a help at least.

Form & Verdict
Had plenty to spare when beating very experienced mare Banntown Girl at Ballinrobe in April; backed that up with a game display to win a 25-runner handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival; more progress is needed in order to make a mark in this grade, but she is only five so there is every chance of sustained improvement.

J: Donagh Meyler

T: James William Hannon

The most experienced mare in the field and rated 123 over fences; has often been highly tried to no avail, including when tailed off in Punchestown mares' Grade 2 latest; sights are lowered now and seems to handle most ground; chance.

Was a decent second in a Thurles handicap in February but was well beaten at Leopardstown since and has loads to find against the top two in this race; due to run in the 2.40 at Fairyhouse Saturday.

Form & Verdict
Recruit from Flat in France; took a couple of runs to find his feet over hurdles but followed up a Naas maiden win with a convincing success in a Grade B handicap at the Punchestown festival; not beaten far in seventh behind stablemate Zarak The Brave in the Galway Hurdle.

Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount.
