Glimmer of ability in point-to-points; good hurdling debut when 1.5l third at Limerick (2m3f, good to yielding); faded into fourth late on at Tramore (2m, soft); probably prefers better ground; place chance.

Irish bumper winner who scored on his stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in December and would have gone close but for falling late on handicap debut at Doncaster in February; pulled up last time when the longer trip wasn't an obvious excuse; retains potential and interesting on chase debut back from a break.

Irish bumper winner (yielding) who followed up on hurdle/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in December, and he was disputing the lead and clear of the rest when falling at the final flight on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last time; the winner has followed up off 6lb higher so a 4lb rise for this fellow may well prove lenient; every chance he'll stay.
