Rolled back the years to win over fences at Navan in February but didn't stay 4m2f last time in the Uttoxeter Midlands National; races off his last winning hurdle mark, so not ruled out.

J: Calum Hogan

Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles.

Promising chase debut when not beaten far by Perceval Legallois in a beginners' event at Galway in October; two lesser runs before third over 2m2f at Thurles; a shade disappointing in a 2m6f rated event last time but can pick up a race of this standard.
