Hurdles winner was soundly beaten in opening three chase runs; well backed when winning a Down Royal rated novice chase last time (2m5f, good to yielding); likely capable of more.

1-10 over hurdles and rated 131; soundly beaten in three chase starts, including off 126 in a novices' handicap at Naas on latest; needs to improve plenty on that to figure here.

One of eight for trainer; maiden hurdle winner built on a good runner-up finish at Gowran on his third chase start to win a four-runner Wexford beginners' chase (3m1f, soft) at his leisure last time; that form probably doesn't amount to much, but he's not ruled out now entering handicaps.

Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f last summer; the best of three chase runs came last time when a 3l runner-up at Gowran over the same trip; similar ground today and is the one to beat if staying this trip.

5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected.

T: Gordon Elliott

One of her five hurdle wins came here over 2m4f last year; ended her campaign with a win in a valuable mares' hurdle at Far Hills in USA and is rated 129 in that sphere; has won when fresh and is a big player if ready after the break.
