Point' winner was long odds-on to win a Punchestown bumper on debut but was disqualified for interference after passing the post in front; made no mistake at Galway since and the 3rd that day has shown smart hurdle form; carries a penalty but can go close.

Progressive sort who seemed to relish the step up in trip at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and that form has been boosted by the runner-up winning since; won in better style than the winning margin suggested that day and there could be more to come from this point winner stepping up in trip; seemingly down the order on jockey bookings.

Went up 8lb for making all in a Market Rasen maiden (2m, good) and was beaten about 6l on his switch to handicaps at Ascot; 18 ran that day so it was still a commendable effort, but will have to settle better now returned to further.

Off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles with easy win at Market Rasen last month (2m, good; made virtually all); also effective on soft ground; can be headstrong and makes his handicap debut in a competitive race, but he's unexposed and brings potential; could be in the mix.

Chasing debutant is 1-9 over timber; beaten 3.5l off 99 in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel on latest; is bred for this game and the trip and ground should be fine; his lack of chasing experience is a concern in a field this size though so he's probably best watched.
