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.

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.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Mickey Bowen

Capitalised on the favourite falling three out to win in small field at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January on stable debut and pulled up/well beaten on both runs since; hard to fancy on the face of it but his yard has an excellent record in this race over the years, so he's not a forlorn hope.

Ex-Irish 8yo; won two-finisher contest on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but struggled to land a blow at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) last month; now sports cheekpieces; others have more persuasive profiles.
