Form & Verdict
Point winner was a smart maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but hasn't really built on that; the best of three runs last season was when second in a Gowran Grade 3 in February; was then outclassed in the Champion Hurdle; yard does well with chasers so can run a big race.

Rated 144 over hurdles; made perfect start to chasing career when lowering the colours of Supersundae in a novice at Wexford (2m, gd-yld); 5lb penalty for that but handles softer ground and the one to beat.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Lightly raced 8yo; dropped away from the top of the hill in the Supreme on this card 12 months ago, having raced freely and done too much up front; achieved best RPRs when scoring impressively at Leopardstown (strong maiden form) in December 2024 and good second in Grade 3 at Gowran Park (again over 2m; heavy) last time; faces a stiffer assignment and competition for the lead.

Form & Verdict
Maiden hurdle winner was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice last year before losing his form in that sphere; got off the mark on third chase start when an easy winner at Kilbeggan last time over 2m6f; penalised 6lb for that but should still be difficult to beat even dropping in trip.

Maiden hurdle winner placed in a Grade 1 before losing his form last year; blasted back to somewhere near his best when landing a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m7f, good to yielding) by 17l in April; 2m at Wexford was too sharp for him when 7.5l behind the winner in second, carrying a penalty; rider reduces penalty here and he's undoubtedly the one to beat.

Rated 142 over hurdles; seventh in the 2024 Supreme Novices' Hurdle; 8l second behind The Yellow Clay in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Naas in January 2025 (2m4f, soft); pulled up in two following hurdle starts at Grade 1 level; form of his two chase starts bears little relation to his best hurdles form.

Two hurdle wins here last year over a similar trip to this; maiden over fences but some fair efforts; poor at Roscommon last time but can do better back here.

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; chase form (0-6) lacks substance but she's potentially well in given hurdling exploits.

Long-standing maiden until joining yard last summer and then went back-to-back at Wexford in July/August; well beaten at the festival here on next start and has struggled since; better ground will help and she's 1lb lower than last winning mark.
