Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 63 lengths when seventh over 3800m in a hurdle at Compiegne. Has ability and is a top-three chance if he brings his A-game.

Finished a close second in a steeplechase (5833m) at this track in most recent effort. Top winning chance this line-up.

Failed to complete the course in a steeplechase (3118m) at Tramore last start following a fourth in a steeplechase (3621m) at Limerick the run prior. Deserves another try.

Finished fifth two back in a steeplechase (4224m) at Fairyhouse then again missed out in a steeplechase (4123m) at Kilbeggan last time. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Had just two runs last campaign and went to the paddock after finishing seventh in a steeplechase (3520m) at Sligo. Hard to have in this company.

Should be fitter after two outings since a break. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when fourth in a steeplechase (4023m) at Limerick. At top now and rates strongly this line-up. Gets chance.

Beaten a long way last time when sixth in a steeplechase at Tramore. Appeals as an each way chance if finds best form.

Doesn't win out of turn, the latest effort a seventh when beaten 27 lengths in a steeplechase (3218m) at Roscommon. Confidence low and others are going better.

Missed the frame two back in a steeplechase (5230m) at Down Royal then gave a good account last time when fourth in a hurdle (4828m) at Punchestown, 2.5 lengths adrift of the winner. Can improve in this more suitable contest.

Fitter for two runs from a spell. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when fourth in a hurdle (4123m) at Listowel. Building to a win and gets chance to break through.

Nine-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when seventh in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal. This class tougher and others rate better.

Kicked off the campaign with a fourth before an underwhelming sixth in a steeplechase (4123m) at Kilbeggan last time. Better than last run but needds to bounce back.

Disappointed when ninth in a hurdle (3621m) at this track first-up from a spell. Fitter but others rate better.
