Form & Verdict
Kilbeggan bumper winner last April on good ground; fine runner-up efforts on first two hurdle starts at Navan and here in testing ground; well below that level upped to 3m at Cork when didn't jump well; questions now but the form to be a big player if back to best.

Kilbeggan bumper winner a year ago got off the mark over hurdles when easily winning a 2m7f maiden here in February on heavy ground; ran too freely when pulled-up as favourite at Fairyhouse since; has a shout if settling better.

J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Kilbeggan bumper winner a year ago on good ground; has raced on contrasting ground so far hurdling, notably second to a smart mare at Punchestown and most recently nicely improved when running away with albeit weaker 2m7f maiden at same venue in February (soft-to-heavy); should make his mark in handicaps and opening mark looks competitive.

Form & Verdict
Won a point on good ground last year; has run with credit in two maiden hurdles on softer ground lately, here over 2m3f and at Cork over 3m; has finished both behind and in front of Fillyoureye in those runs; looks a reliable sort so can be involved.

Won a point-to-point on good ground last May; coped with much softer ground on first three maiden hurdle runs when placed behind some decent types; recent Limerick run was poor though, forcing it as usual but dropping out tamely; others preferred on handicap debut.
