Novice jumped better when winning on fourth chase start at Downpatrick; this first handicap outing will test him further in that department; can race prominently and likes good ground.

Front-runner has not totally convinced with his jumping on his initial runs over fences despite finishing second last twice; can get away with it over these small fences and sure to give a good account from the front.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Andrew Slattery

Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences.

Rated 129 over hurdles and satisfactory chase debut when runner-up at Downpatrick last month; 6-28 on the Flat, his last win in this code gained at Dundalk (2m) in January 2025; inexperienced rider aboard; runner-up in this race in 2024 but only sixth last year.

Rated 129 over hurdles and probably ran to about that mark when runner-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle earlier this month; makes his chasing debut here and clearly respected if his jumping holds up.

Winning hurdler; made little impact over fences until finishing a fine third in a competitive 2m2f handicap chase at Galway; best form is on good ground so connections will not want to see a deluge.

Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap hurdle wins at Navan and Leopardstown; soundly beaten in a good-ground handicap at Ballinrobe after six months off; any rain that falls is likely to be in his favour.

Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); beaten favourite in two novice hurdles in January; perhaps some doubt about how he will handle the ground.
