Form & Verdict
Landed a Kilbeggan bumper in July last year; returned from 14 months off and ran like he needed it in a Naas maiden hurdle last month; should improve a good deal for that and likely to go a good deal closer here.

One of eight for trainer; bumper and dual winning hurdler had no chance when a faller on chasing debut at Navan in January (3m, soft to heavy) and was a moderate fourth of seven here next time (2m7f, heavy); much better when seeing off better-fancied stablemate Ballygunner Castle at Naas by 0.5l last time (2m4f, soft to heavy); in the mix on handicap chase debut.

One of three for trainer; rated 143 over hurdles; dual hurdles winner was beaten 8l in 2024 Albert Bartlett; ran just once last season when 12l behind in a Fairyhouse Grade 2; looked beaten when falling on chasing debut at Navan (3m, soft to heavy); beaten 19l at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy) last time (11l in front of Supersundae).

Form & Verdict
Dual bumper winner, including when scoring under his veteran trainer from Lucky Lyreen at Limerick in March; maiden hurdle form is solid, most recently when runner-up over 2m1f at Cork last week; probably best at this trip and likely to take the beating here.

Won over 3m on handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces) at Down Royal in January, beating subsequent Ulster National winner Born Braver; in rear in the Grand National Trial at Punchestown and ordinary run in Ladies National at Fairyhouse last time; all four wins have been on soft or worse, so that's a concern; yard has won last three renewals.

Peak rating of 135 over hurdles; won a 3m handicap chase at Down Royal (yielding-to-soft) in January, beating subsequent Ulster National winner Born Braver; in rear the Grand National Trial at Punchestown on latest; could go well if first-time blinkers do the trick; trainer teamed up with rider Charlotte Butler to win this in 2024.
