Form & Verdict
Second runner for yard and the choice of Jack Kennedy; point-to-point winner; classy form over hurdles includes a Grade 3 novice win at Navan a year ago; unraced on quicker than yielding so good ground is an unknown; the one to beat if handling it on chasing debut if fit after a 207 day break.

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Gordon Elliott

Won two Grade 1 novice chases in December 2024 (2m4f/3m, yielding/good to yielding); he hasn't kicked on this term and was well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown (2m5f, soft) in February, but getting back on better ground may help and he can go well if tapping back into last season's promise.

Dual hurdle winner turned into a top-class novice chaser last season, winning two Grade 1s including over 3m at this track; was also a fine runner-up in a Grade 1 over C&D at this meeting last year; hasn't been at that level in four starts since, but drops in grade with a 5lb claimer aboard, so has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Sole win in eight starts under Rules came here in a heavy ground bumper back in February; came up short in Grade 1 and Listed company; well beaten in first two chases but was in the lead when falling two out in a beginners at Tramore (2m7f, good) on latest; top yard, ground fine and has place claims if putting in a clear round.

Maiden hurdle was her only win from 14 races for Willie Mullins; placed on five of nine attempts over fences, mostly running well last season but she flopped when favourite for a 3m4f handicap on final start, with first-fence mistake playing a part; fetched 25,000gns in April and has similar form to most of these, plus more chasing experience.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Two-time winner over hurdles and rated 119; best form is on good ground and he has won over 23.5f so these conditions are fine; dam is a half-sister to a chase winner; has a bit to find on hurdling form but he's proven on the ground and at the trip; don't discount.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Won twice over hurdles, including on good ground; well-beaten on chase debut over 2m2f on good at Galway; better upped to 22.5f on softer ground on latest but reportedly made a respiratory noise; dam is from a good family of chasers and this step up in trip could suit; not without a chance.

Irish-trained novice who has improved the last twice, easily winning big-field handicap at Leopardstown (extended 3m, good to yielding) in December then second of 16 at same track (2m5f, yielding); could do with jumping better than last time but this progressive 7yo may have more left in the tank.
