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.

One-time smart hurdler; three chase wins in the space of four runs last year included a beginners chase at this meeting and a 2m2f Grade 3 at Punchestown; hasn't kicked on at all from that sequence and he'd be a surprise winner.

Useful chasing campaign last season returned three wins from seven starts; not at his best in a Newbury Grade 2 last November or in Aintree Grade 1 in April; 140 hurdles rating puts him 8lb behind Bowensfire. might be more effective than his stablemate on this ground.

Form & Verdict
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.
