Form & Verdict
Bumper winner who made fairly heavy weather of justifying prohibitive odds in a 2m maiden at Kilbeggan and that bare form is nothing to shout about; today's longer trip could trigger something but Townend prefers his stablemate.

Maiden and novice hurdle winner for Willie Mullins in 2024; lost way for that stable and pulled up in a Thurles handicap chase on debut for this yard in December, his fourth non-completion in six starts; new headgear combination tried.

Rated 130 over hurdles; never remotely dangerous when third on chase debut and was towards the rear when unseating four out at Galway (2m6f, good; first-time tongue-tie; 25-1); others appeal more, including stablemate Uncle Pat who was a lot shorter in the betting than him at Galway.

J: Eoin Staples

Won two of his six starts over hurdles; latest second at Fairyhouse his most encouraging run yet over fences but only four ran and his jumping was a bit scruffy; will need to be sharper all round in his first handicap but the ability is there.

Form & Verdict
Won his maiden at this trip and probably his best form yet when pushing a smart rival close at Wexford; some doubts over whether this drier ground will see him to best effect but brings strong form claims.

Prospered after second to Western Fold on chase debut at Tipperary last May; hat-trick included small-field 3m Grade 2s at this venue and Navan; took time to warm up and left with plenty to do in the Brown Advisory, made late progress to finish fourth behind Kitzbuhel; towards the back when unseated at the 15th (Chair) in the Grand National.

J: Daniel King

A first-season novice won the 2022 Grand National when unraced beyond 3m1f and this Irish challenger (who's one year older) bids to repeat the feat; hat-trick this season included two small-field Grade 2s and when his winning sequence came to an end it was in the Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival, where some slow jumping in the early stages left him with plenty to do but he made late inroads to finish fourth; he still looks capable of better and the longer trip could suit.

Progressive over fences, winning soft-ground 3m Grade 2s at Punchestown in November (beat Koktail Divin) and Navan in February (by 6l from The Wallpark) on his last two starts; has a better chance on form for his two-horse trainer than double-figure odds suggest; one to consider each-way.
