Three-time winner over hurdles with two of those coming over 2m1f at this track; bounced back from some underwhelming Flat runs to win here last time (yielding to soft); on a career high mark now but he has only run ten times over hurdles so there is likely still improvement to come and he clearly likes the course.

Consistency rewarded with a narrow verdict at Down Royal (1m5f, good) in September; softer ground may have been against her afterwards; back from winter break for rare AW start and likely best watched.

Modest Flat maiden; all four runs over hurdles came at her local track last year; third in maiden and in a handicap off 92; will be better for this comeback run.

Second reserve; best efforts have come on good ground, including C&D second last season off 47; soft ground against him of late and similar scenario here.

Wasn't beaten far here on penultimate start over further; didn't build on that at Sligo subsequently and tough race to break the maiden tag.

Maiden under both codes, pick of form when second in 1m4f Dundalk handicap last winter; recent run there not without promise but fair bit more needed here; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
