Form & Verdict
Flat maiden winner on good ground (Navan) was unable to do himself justice on hurdles debut at Punchestown last month, getting shuffled back after fallers and never landing a blow; interesting connections are pitching him into Graded company here and yard have a good record in this race.

Flat maiden winner on good; only seventh on soft-ground hurdle debut but much improved when seeing off Willy De Houelle to win Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (yielding) just eight days later; respectable fourth under a penalty in Grade 2 at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting; fell three out when 16-1 in Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree; first-time cheekpieces.

Ex-French; turned over at 1-4 on yard debut in December (Grade 3) before two supporting roles when hooded (also tongue tied latest) in better races at Leopardstown won by Hello Neighbour; 18-1, held up last in only a partially successful attempt to settle him on latest outing but he ran on into fourth of eight in that steadily run Grade 1, his best form; better may be possible in different circumstances, such as a more strongly run race here.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Off the mark hurdling at second attempt (unseated on debut), keen enough and none too fluent at the last but decisively beating last weekend's Kempton winner Moutarde at Galway in October; best form is on softer ground but progressive type and likely big player here.
