Form & Verdict
Placed in both his point-to-point starts on testing ground; seemed to handle the better ground when a 15.5l fourth of 18 on his racecourse debut in a Listowel maiden hurdle last month (2m6f, good); has potential but this looks a big ask on his chasing debut.

Won a handicap hurdle on first start for this yard at Punchestown in February; won a beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien in October 2024; has run well here before but well beaten last twice over timber and this looks too demanding; cheekpieces go on.

Won Limerick beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien last season; two fair runs over fences for Declan Queally this term before breakthrough hurdles win on yard debut at Punchestown; Naas run four days later may have come too soon.

Won Limerick beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien last season; two good runs for Declan Queally this term before breakthrough hurdles win on yard debut at Punchestown on Wednesday, getting the better of the front-running second (pair 17l clear of third-placed Ontheropes) late on over 3m1f (soft); quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty and bold follow-up bid expected.

Form & Verdict
1-6 over hurdles and rated 106; beaten 110l on his chasing debut at Listowel last month; could strip fitter for that first run after a 131-day absence but this looks a tough task for him; up against it in this company.

Still to score over fences and has been pulled up in 3m handicap chases at Hexham on his last two runs; tried in different headgear.

0-9 over fences and he's struggled on his last two starts; however, first-time cheekpieces had a positive impact when he was second off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) last November, so perhaps today's first-time blinkers and tongue-tie will give him a boost.

Yet to score over hurdles or fences for his current yard and comes here having been well below par on last two starts, only tenth in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase in December; lots more is needed after a break.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner over hurdles, including a handicap at this track; rated 124 over timber; was 20-1 when unseating on his chasing debut at Galway earlier this month; has a fair bit to find with the top two here but he could be the one to benefit if they fail to fire.

Four-time winner over hurdles but very much out of form this winter after unhappy spell over fences in early autumn; hard to support at present.
