Form & Verdict
Returned from long absence to win British maiden point (3m, soft) in December and promising second on recent rules debut at Exeter (2m5f, heavy), when again under Ella Herbison; there's room for improvement in his jumping and this unexposed 8yo could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Absent since going close on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) in March 2022; however, his in-form trainer won this in 2021 and 2022 and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Close second in Irish point in March 2022; not seen again for two years but he put up a good show when runner-up on hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, soft) last April; very disappointing when pulled up in May but his Perth form is strong in this context and coming here fresh is probably a good thing.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 132

Form & Verdict
His jumping has lacked fluency and he's been turned over at odds-on the last twice, most recently 11l fourth of 18 at Naas (2m3f, soft) last Tuesday in a first-time hood (retained); however, he holds stand-out form claims and this could be a good opportunity for him to get off the mark over hurdles.

J: John Shinnick

T: W P Mullins

Finished third behind shorter-priced stablemates in last two outings and is again facing stronger candidates from his own yard, before even considering the many other dangers; overall record of just 2-15 reflects that he hasn't progressed as well as expected; 2lb out of the handicap.

Only 1-9 over hurdles and vastly inferior to stablemate Salvator Mundi in that discipline; his second run over fences was better than the first, beaten about 12l at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding); would have a chance if the yard's apparent main hope did fluff his lines.

Form & Verdict
Irish maiden point winner (3m, good to yielding) who has improved with each of his three hurdle runs this year (2m/2m1f, soft), most recently third of 15 at Wetherby; he needs another step forward today but the step up in trip looks a firm plus and he could be a contender.
