Form & Verdict
Smart sort is rated 134 over hurdles, though was below form when last ran in that sphere, albeit in a Grade 1 novice; won a well-contested Leopardstown novice on chasing debut last time over 2m1f but stays this trip too; has a bit to find with Hollow Games on ratings but is in winning form.

Now 5lb lower than when second for Micheal Keady here (2m4f, good) just under a year ago but both subsequent runs for Sara Bradstock were disappointing and he was well beaten in Cheltenham Festival cross-country chase on stable debut in March; now sports cheekpieces; needs to get career back on track.

Very useful handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2024 and placed for Michael Keady last spring (2m4f, good) but absent since pulled up for Sara Bradstock in September (bled from the nose); now with another new stable for cross-country debut; 4lb wrong; best to look elsewhere.

Temptingly treated on the best of his form for Willie Mullins; had two runs for Michael Keady, outclassed in the Grand National but then runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); ran well for a long way in Market Rasen's Summer Plate (2m5f) on debut for current yard and this trip is a better fit; respected.

Bumper and dual hurdle winner (including at this track) is rated 130 over timber; respectable efforts against quality rivals both chase starts last season but will find this a tough task on return against stiff opposition.

Form & Verdict
Decent hurdler has been hit and miss over fences since winning a Navan novice in November 2022; an excellent third in the Galway Plate last summer but has been poor since, including back over hurdles last time; has the rating to win this but obvious questions to answer.
