Narrow winner of a 2m4f maiden at Wexford this month; that was his eighth start over hurdles, and his handicap rating of 116 was left unchanged; others are better suited by the race conditions.

Well held by Raise You Up and Grey Jude on Naas running; has a good chance of reversing Wexford form with Ilallgoeswell and De Jour En Jour, rider had to pull off an amazing stunt to keep the partnership when his saddle slipped after three out.

Crystal Ocean half-brother to 2m1f/2m4f hurdle winner Toughasoldboots; long odds all three starts this term, taking a definite step forward on latest when staying-on second (third has won since) to a warm favourite in 2m1f Down Royal auction maiden at Christmas (yielding) having raced wide under 7lb claimer; Jack Kennedy takes over now, slightly longer trip should suit and receives a handy bit of weight.

Well backed and duly won a Thurles bumper (15.5f, gd-yld) on debut in October; always behind when beating just one rival home at Leopardstown in December and off since; bred to make a hurdler and in good hands so not dismissed.

Maiden seemed to appreciate the step up to 22.5f (good) at Clonmel last time when keeping on for a 9.25l third; eased 1lb, but not sure whether the drop back in trip here will suit.
