2-4 over fences, though not seen in this discipline since well held in a Grade 3 at this fixture two years ago; he returns in excellent form, in recent weeks winning on the Flat (2m) and over hurdles at Cork (3m); could have a big run in him.

Smart dual-purpose type won a nice Flat prize over 2m a fortnight ago; came off worse in a couple of 3m clashes with Happy Jacky last year, but not by much, including when beaten a head in the corresponding race; relishes good ground.

Grade 2 winning hurdler had seemingly lost way over fences and hurdles but regained the winning thread back over timber at Kilbeggan six days ago; that was a weak race but it should have boosted his confidence so leading claims now back over fences.

Enjoyed a fine hurdles campaign in 24-25, winning a Grade 3 at Gowran and finishing fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham; winning debut over fences at Galway last September before things went a little pear-shaped; reverts back to hurdles here and at his best he would be very hard to oppose; whether he can produce his best is not so certain.

3-14 over hurdles; has only managed one win over fences but has often run well in defeat; has the ability to figure here but has never won beyond 19.5f and he's got stamina questions to answer over this far a trip.

Joined Willie Mullins for E95,000euros after winning a point and 2m3f bumper at Cork, the latter for Emmet Mullins; backed that up in a bumper at Catterick (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) on his first race for the champion trainer; costly failure over 2m4f at Fakenham in January on hurdling debut; ought to be capable of much better than that.

Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top.
