Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner showed useful form in bumpers, winning at Leopardstown in December 2023 (2m, soft); decent level of form in three maiden hurdle runs, most recently when only collared close home (clear of remainder) over 2m1f at Down Royal in January; tries a new trip here and this looks a good opportunity.

Ex-Gordon Elliott; made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but up and down since, with recent thirds just okay efforts (latest in this new headgear combination when behind Breizh River); may prefer softer ground ideally.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

A winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, he made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January; reportedly hard to keep right, but he returned to form after three lesser efforts when third of five in returning cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (good) last month; first-time tongue-tie is also applied and he holds claims.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Easily won four-runner contest at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) on stable/chase debut in January but was probably fortunate that day and not much has gone to plan since; never competitive after early jumping errors over the big Aintree fences last month and arrives here with a bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted.
