Form & Verdict
Bumper winner; off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles in a Limerick maiden (2m3f, soft) in March, winning by 8.5l; that form has taken some knocks since and opening mark doesn't look overly generous; probably best watched in first handicap.

Won a 2m3f Limerick maiden hurdle and unseated at the first in a Punchestown handicap next time; didn't jump that well and idled badly when just denied in a 3m Wexford novice last time; down massively in trip; highest-rated here but far from bomb-proof.

Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory.

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his last three starts, a 19.5f handicap here (sft-hvy) off 107 in January and a 2m3f handicap at Naas (sft-hvy) on latest in March; career high mark now but he looks progressive and the forecast rain won't inconvenience him; 1lb wrong.

Promise in bumpers and hurdles before getting off mark on handicap debut at Punchestown in January (2m4f, soft to heavy); raised 6lb for that and comfortably held in a tougher grade next time (2m3f, soft to heavy); tough enough task again.

Some promise in bumpers and maiden hurdles before getting off the mark in a C&D handicap last time; bumped up 6lb for that and now in a stronger race so will have to progress again.

Form & Verdict
Three-time winner over timber; career highlight a 1.25l win in Red Mills Auction Final at this meeting last year (19.5f, yielding); excellent effort when a 3.5l second behind Champagne Kid on last start over hurdles at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, gd-yld); fit from a spin on the Flat last month but very soft ground would not be ideal; 1lb wrong.

Useful hurdler who won the Red Mills Auction Final over 2m3f at last season's Punchestown festival; only previous Flat attempt was over 1m6f; runs over an inadequate trip here; worth a look with a view to her likely return to hurdling.
