Arrives here in top form after winning back to back handicap hurdles at Cork over 2m4f (Onefortheditch 1.5l behind in second) and 3m; has gone up a total of 14lb and this is tougher but can't discount in current form. |

Point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner notched up a first handicap win over 2m4f (yielding) here 17 days ago; raised 7lb and moves up in trip but should be competitive again, though wouldn't want the track to dry out (non-runner on account of gd-yld before). |

Ran consistently well when sent over fences last term, culminating in a ready win in a similar contest at Wexford where reapplied cheekpieces seemingly had a positive impact; four of these were behind him there, but he's 8lb higher now and wouldn't it to dry out too much. |

Better hurdler but has performed respectably in beginners' chases this season, runner-up at Cork (2m, yielding) and led most of the way when fourth at Down Royal (2m4f yielding); solid first handicap effort at Limerick last month, having travelled well into the race; could go well. |

10st 10lb |
9yo who is well related (half-brother to Kildisart and The Big Breakaway) but very lightly raced for his age; remote second of 17 at Navan (3m, heavy) in his first handicap chase, which he followed with much better form to win 13-runner Dublin National at Leopardstown (3m4f, yielding to soft) last time, scooting just over 6l clear on the run-in; has a much higher British mark today but also untapped potential and he's one to consider. |

Not much mileage on the clock for a 9yo; Limerick maiden hurdle winner in April (3m, good); stepped up to 3m for first time over fences for handicap chase debut at Navan last time when keeping on well for second behind 22l winner Rokathir (followed up next time); had So They Tell Me 0.5l behind and Gringo d'Aubrelle a further 8l back that day; player. |

In the frame all three starts in maiden hurdles on decent ground and ran well in a Leopardstown handicap on yielding in December; beaten 2.25l in a Kilbeggan maiden (16.5f, gd-yld) on latest on return from 99-day break; yard red-hot and likely to be thereabouts again with conditions to suit. |
