Fair form over hurdles without winning; won by a big margin at Thurles three weeks ago on his third start over fences; a 10lb rise may prove too much but could challenge for a share of the money. |

In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Gained a first career win when successful in a C&D beginners' chase last time (good to yielding); rated 11lb higher than his hurdles mark following that but claimer reduces that burden; has his chance but overall form suggests following up won't be easy. |

Point winner easily won a Tipperary hunter chase in May last year; has been hit or miss since, but one of his better efforts came at Downpatrick last month when taking third (3m, good), making a mistake at two out; way below that level over hurdles at Limerick last time; return to fences should help. |
