One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more. |

One of two for trainer; bumper/dual winning hurdler; returned from almost a year off when well beaten on Flat in February; more promise in 10l fifth over hurdles at Navan (2m, soft); didn't build on that at Bellewstown last time. |

Bumper and dual winning hurdler; came back from almost a year off the track when well beaten in a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February; more promise in her 10l fifth of 12 at Navan last month (2m, soft); more needed with cheekpieces added to the tongue tie. |

11st 10lb |
Won a premier handicap over 1m4f here at the 2022 festival, fair fifth of 17 in the same race last season; fit from a hurdling campaign in which he has been placed in three consecutive maidens; half-brother to the stable's 2016 winner Swamp Fox; brother to smart jumper Knappers Hill; potentially interesting if he gets the trip. |

Failed to complete both point starts; off the mark in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August before winning again at Galway the following month in a handicap off 105; didn't run badly at Gowran (2m, soft) when last seen, headed in final 110 yards into third; makes chase debut now. |

Hurdle winner who ran a cracker when second off 120 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary in October (2m, good); form tailed off then but relished the switch to fences when scoring at Downpatrick in March, beating Dee's Lady by 4.25l, below that when fifth behind Coral River but will appreciate this sound surface. |

Relished the switch to fences when coming from the back to win on chasing debut in a Downpatrick beginners' (19.5f, yielding) just 16 days ago; this is a harder race but he did it nicely the last day and he should go well again. |
