Battled to gain a first win when successful over hurdles at Limerick in December off 84 (2m6f, soft to heavy); tailed off at Punchestown next time; bounced back when runner-up back at Limerick last time (2m7f, heavy), had Mickey Hulie 17l behind in third that day; best form on softer. |

11st 5lb |
Dual point winner is yet to score from nine runs under rules; claims on the basis of his neck runner-up finish at Naas (3m, soft to heavy); below that level when favourite here eight days later; disappointed in cheekpieces (left off) at Kilbeggan; solid chance if he handles the ground. |

Dual point winner; confirmed his liking for a stamina test when second over 3m at Naas (soft to heavy) last month; below that level when a remote third of 15 at Limerick (2m7f, heavy; favourite) eight days later; perhaps that came too soon; cheekpieces go on now and better ground should be okay based on his point-to-point wins. |

Moderate form overall; his 9l third of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) in January was a decent effort; had excuse for poor chase run there next time; distant fifth here over hurdles on latest (2m7f); place chance. |

Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |

Maiden with uneven form. second here in November (3m, heavy); next run here not at the same level and then unseated at Thurles; confirmed a liking for a stamina test when second over 3m at Naas last week; can pick up a race at some stage. |
