Two wins over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien; also won a Flat maiden over 1m4f at Tramore last summer; probably needed the run at Killarney in July on stable debut, likely to be sharper now. |

Dual 2m hurdles winner was a disappointing favourite on chase debut at Wexford in July after not jumping fluently when last seen; last win in this sphere came in a good ground Thurles handicap last December off 114; returned from a break with a win on the Flat in early July; chance. |

Five-time winner under all codes; broke his chasing duck despite some novicey jumping in a 2m3f novice at Wexford in July; kept on late, after losing his place, in a similar handicap chase at Kilbeggan three weeks ago after a fine effort over hurdles at Galway; the type to keep improving over fences and this trip is more suitable; contender. |

Won a beginners' chase easily at Wexford in July (19.5f, good); ran another solid race on latest when runner-up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Galway; 6lb lower back over fences, handles most ground and obvious chance off top weight. |

In flying form this season, winning his first three starts, two over fences before hurdle win at Punchestown off 90; bad mistake two out when fourth in Listed chase at Naas on latest and the winner since finished second in the Leinster National; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

In flying form this season, winning all three of his starts; took a Clonmel handicap (2m5f, good to yielding) chase in October and followed up back there next time (2m1f, soft); exploited lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month (2m3f, heavy); this is harder but he's in good form. |
