Prolific winner under both codes, last two hurdle wins were in claimers at Roscommon and Sligo last summer; fourth to Ahead Of The Posse when attempting repeat Roscommon win on latest but enjoys a big turn around in the weights with that rival here so has to be considered a major player. |

Made promising start to his career; missed two years but got back in the winners' enclosure at Ballinrobe last summer; probably needed last month's return at Cartmel but doesn't look well treated on any recent form. |

Came good for Noel Kelly at third attempt at Ballinrobe (2m7f, yielding to soft; front pair clear) last August; absent since 2m1f fourth later that month but will be favoured by the forecast rain and market support will make him of strong interest. |
