Made a successful stable debut over hurdles before a 2l third back chasing at Punchestown; 3m2f perhaps stretched her when 20-1 for the Kim Muir; in shallower waters here.

Form & Verdict
Hurdle winner last season has won twice over fences this season, both handicaps at Fairyhouse over 2m5f; raised 6lb for that but the runner-up since finished 4th in the Scottish National, so solid form; should go close.

Tough task over hurdles last time and wasn't pulling up any trees in handicap chases before that; sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud.

Hurdle winner returned from a long absence with a creditable run behind the top-class Sir Gerhard at Cork; however, he has plenty to find on this chasing debut.

Form & Verdict
Won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at this track in 2021; did really well to get off the mark over fences on fourth chase start at Cork (2m) back from a 238 day break; this trip will suit better and he should have improved from that comeback.

Dual hurdle winner has run well in defeat at times over the winter but was disappointing at Leopardstown last time; rated 128 over timber so should be competitive with her sex allowance on chasing debut if jumping soundly.

Dual hurdle winner scored her sole chase win in a C&D Q.R. handicap last year; not a bad effort in that same race last time and is down 1lb so is worth considering.

Stayed on for second at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) in December on fourth chase start and got off the mark in this sphere at Punchestown (extended 2m6f, soft) in January; this is tougher but she travelled well and found plenty last time, and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement.
