Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner in 2023; no worthwhile track form until reappearing from 430-day absence to justify strong market support on yard debut here last month when running away with 2m6f handicap hurdle (good); good effort off 20lb higher mark when second over 3m at Galway on soft 12 days later; now tries fences, guaranteed stayer and should go well.

Reserve; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but was disappointing when last seen in this sphere at Cheltenham last autumn when wore a hood; however, has improved plenty over fences since and ran a cracker in an Aintree Grade 3 last time; 4lb out of the handicap but hurdles mark is 14lb lower than chase one; check the market if getting a run.

Irish 7yo who was successful last August/November in first two chase attempts, including at Kempton (3m, good); something to prove in this scenario, having posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps on last two starts, but in excellent hands and may yet resume improvement; not written off.

J: Donagh Meyler

T: Emmet Mullins

Better chaser than hurdler; this is a much deeper race than the one he won by more than 4l over C&D in November (good; effective on softer) but unwise to read too much into his subsequent defeats in Ireland that were at about 2m; a 7lb higher mark than for that last win could count, however.
