Couldn't find the top three two back in a G3 (3419m) at Fairyhouse then again missed out in a steeplechase (3199m) at Cheltenham last time. Sure to prove harder to beat this time.

Did a reasonable job when he finished second in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Navan two runs back. Improved sharply to score a very soft win by 10 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Clonmel more recently. Cannot be left out.

Eased out of the race in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle (4224m) at Cheltenham last start. On his best form is sure to prove hard to beat.

Returned from a 206-day spell last start with a win in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse with today's rider Philip Donovan steering. Needs to go up a level.

Did fairly well when he finished third when resuming in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Clonmel two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 1.3 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Cork at the latest outing. Big task ahead.

Returns from a 76-day spell. Started just once when last in work and was successful in a hurdle (3215m) at Sandown Park, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Can return in winning form.

Lightly raced gelding who opened his account at his last outing 16 months ago, scoring by half a length in a bumper (3017m) at Wincanton. Should be prominent.

Filled a minor prize two back in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Leopardstown then could only manage seventh last time in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Limerick, beaten 65 lengths. Looking to others.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a novice hurdle (4526m) at Navan but could only manage seventh in a LR (4626m) at Fairyhouse last time, arriving 6 lengths behind the winner. Hard to fault on her best jumps form.

Has not raced since she did not complete the course in a hurdle (3419m) at Clonmel four months ago. Can atone.
