Form & Verdict
Point and bumper winner is a quality hurdler having been placed in Grade 1 company though has only a maiden win on his record; below form over hurdles at Cork last time but was nearly 2l ahead of Plate fancy Nurburgring when runner-up to a smart stablemate on chasing debut last winter; should go close.

Won three of first five races over fences, including a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, but has made mistakes and run poorly at Cheltenham and Newbury since; perhaps he'll be revived by a break and cheekpieces, but he has plenty to find on the figures.

Won two in a row this summer when back over fences (2m2f/2m1f, good) and landed a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) last week; seems versatile ground-wise and he's a key player today.

Won a bumper at this meeting in 2023 and got off the mark over hurdles at Sligo last summer before taking a 2m4f novice back here; below that form in a Navan Grade 2 when last seen; however, goes well fresh and is the choice of Paul Townend from the stable's three so greatly respected on chasing debut.

A fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan; went too keenly on his first three outings for his current yard but bounced back to form when (refitted with tongue strap) third of 15 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 35 days ago; the clear form pick back in maiden company; headgear retained.

0-15 over hurdles and needs to produce more than he's managed this term; however, his reduced mark appeals on his useful form up to last March and Harry Cobden is 4-9 this season for Faye Bramley, whose stable is in good form; no surprise to see a bold show now back in a handicap.
