Form & Verdict
Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third to the classy Carmers in a Navan Listed race over 1m5f the time before; the form of that race is strong and he can go well on return if handling this ground even under a big weight.

Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third in a quality Navan Listed race the time before; heavy ground a possible excuse when disappointing off top weight at Listowel in September; gelded since and he went close on his seasonal return last year.

Showed ability last season and was only beaten a head in a Leopardstown maiden on return before finishing third of seven in Listed company; not sure to appreciate slower conditions but will be a major player if he does.

Looked a tricky sort at times but battled well to win a Galway handicap in July over an extended 1m4f; ran too bad to be true at Killarney since over 1m6f and has to rebound.

Useful staying handicapper on the Flat (rated 91); let down by jumping on hurdles debut (before brought down); much improved to land Punchestown maiden in January, jumping much more fluently and responding well to pressure to collar the hot favourite; flopped when well fancied at Naas last month.

One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender.

Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return.

Fifth start when winning a 1m4f Tramore maiden last August, looking as if he would stay further; it was heavy ground when he had a respectable attempt at 1m6f handicap next time, so he remains unexposed on this first start since leaving Jessica Harrington for 90,000gns in October; could be major player.

Form & Verdict
Has shown similar form in three maidens from 1m-1m2f; has just lacked for finishing speed last twice and could well be suited by the step up in trip on handicap debut; this ground is new but plenty in his family handled it so one for the shortlist.

Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; hinted there was a bigger performance in him when placed in first three maiden hurdles, one over this C&D (yielding) and twice at Naas on softer ground; duly delivered the goods on handicap debut, winning the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, gd-sft) by 2.25l off 130; steps into Grade 1 company for the first time and very much respected.

Six Flat runs for Aidan O'Brien, best form at 1m6f/2m; jumping was ropey in his first two defeats over hurdles but that part of his game improved when a rallying second in a rated hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) that has delivered four of the last seven winners of this race; probably peaking at the right time when this has all the hallmarks of a long-term plan; seems versatile ground-wise; lots to like.

Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy (rated 92); promising hurdles debut when never-nearer third (3.25l behind Minella Boss) at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and probably similar level of form in C&D maiden last month, still novicey in jumping; gives the impression improvement likely given better jumping.
