Has made far more progress over hurdles than seemed likely, having been 0-3 (admittedly placed each time) in bumpers for Paul Nicholls; 3-3 in this sphere for new stable, winning by 12l at Cheltenham (2m1f) and 18l at Haydock (1m7f Grade 2) the last two occasions, both on good to soft ground; strong traveller who was particularly impressive from the front last time (he doesn't necessarily need to dominate); brother to a Cheltenham Festival winner; greatly respected in his bid to give Nicky Henderson a sixth success in this race.

Seems versatile as regards ground; highly progressive sort whose overall record is 7-9; has looked best over hurdles when making the running and impressively defied a big penalty at Newbury for his most recent success; good second in the Supreme at Cheltenham, despite a final-flight error and getting involved in some bumping on the run-in (bare form can be marked up); the pick on ratings.

Absent since being outgunned by Supreme absentee Idaho Sun when perhaps indirectly hindered by the low sun in Grade 1 at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft; four hurdles were omitted) on Boxing Day, losing his unbeaten record and his position at the head of the ante-post betting for this contest; gained his three wins in easy fashion, looking a very smart prospect, and may yet fulfil his potential; form is broadly solid; the likely frenetic pace here will suit this strong traveller who is ridden with hold-up tactics; remains of strong interest.

Should be unbeaten over hurdles as he looked the likely winner when final-flight faller in Grade 1 at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) over Christmas; gained compensation in same grade over the same C&D (heavy) at the Dublin Racing Pestival, taking record in this sphere to 3-4 and doing well to get up on the line having come from off the steady gallop set by the runner-up; he's called Talk The Talk but is certainly walking the walk too; major contender, especially with a stronger pace on the cards.

Proved useful in bumpers but is held by a couple of today's rivals on Punchestown festival running; form over hurdles (kept to 2m) features a narrow success in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse and respectable fourth in steadily run Grade 1 at Leopardstown, sandwiching a Christmas flop that is best forgiven (bled from nose); however, may lack the class needed for this assignment.

Evidently well suited by being able to dominate as he's 2-2 under front-running tactics (0-3 otherwise); trounced his rivals in Thurles handicap (2m, yielding) most recently, proving well ahead of a mark of 124; should have more to offer in the right circumstances and grade but this scenario fails on both counts; faces a stiff task on the figures and competition for the lead.
