Form & Verdict
Loves it here where he has won three times; did win 2m1f handicap hurdle off lowly mark here last year but basically he's a three-miler and won Listed novice hurdle over that trip in the autumn; beat useful rival on chase debut here over 2m7f before going down by a little over 2l to Reverend Hubert at Punchestown (3m); sure to go well but vulnerable over this trip.

Good and consistent novice over hurdles and fences with a very good record around Cork and Killarney; well below his best when pulled up last time in the Kerry National; much respected from these quarters on his banks debut.

Has achieved four of his six wins at Killarney but was beaten by Easy Fella when favourite at that venue a month ago; renews rivalry with Horantzau D'Airy (now 2lb better off) who was beginning to stay on when falling at the last; fitted with cheekpieces now; handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Just fair on the Flat and over hurdles but better chaser and has made all to win her last two starts over fences, Ballinrobe beginners' and useful novice contest at Roscommon (Magnor Glory 1.5l away in third); reeled in and well beaten over hurdles at Cartmel since.

Five-time winner under all rules, including two chases, the first coming in a handicap over C&D in May; since won a Roscommon novice and second at Killarney; disappointing over hurdles at that track last time but is more effective over fences.

Smart handicapper over hurdles; has won over 2m4f here but also landed big pot over 2m at Listowel so he has gears and likes good ground; after 10 months off, impressed on chase debut at Ballinrobe in May; not beaten far when third to Je T'ai Porte at Roscommon and is better off at the weights.

On a hat-trick after winning over 2m7f at Limerick and 3m at Punchestown (Solitary Man second); won three on the Flat (1m4f/2m) before he went jumping so had a bit of pace at that time but the marked drop in trip has to be a concern.
