Form & Verdict
Quality hurdler, placed in Grade 1 company though has only a maiden win on his record; was having only his second attempt chasing when landing 2m2f Galway beginners' last month in good style, generally jumping well and asserting run-in to win going away; tongue-tie fitted here for the first time and big chance of a follow-up.

10st 13lb

J: Joshua Halford

T: Gordon Elliott

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.

11st 1lb

J: Josh Williamson

T: Gordon Elliott

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
Rated 5lb inferior to King Of Kingsfield over hurdles; good level of form chasing but jumping remains an issue, faller when in command at Roscommon, none too fluent when making all at Tipperary and again made mistakes when well held in strong renewal of Grade 3 Galway novice dominated by stablemates last month; hood tried last time persisted with.
