Tackling stakes grade after scoring over 4123m in a novice hurdle at Galway last time. Hard to have in this company.

Well deserved win last start after a close second two starts back. Rates well here and has further upside. Expected to go close.

In the money two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3621m) at Listowel. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when second in a maiden hurdle (4325m) at Galway, beaten 5.5 lengths. Worth another chance in this suitable contest.

Made a strong return from a 199-day layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Jack Kennedy. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Has won two of eight career runs to date and is rarely far away. Was in a novice hurdle (4123m) at Galway last time and was beaten 3 lengths into second. Prepared to risk this line-up.

Finished second but no match for the winner last time out in a maiden hurdle (5129m) at Sligo. Others are preferred.

Made a winning return from a 384-day layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Wexford partnered by today's rider Sean O'Keeffe. That run was the first for the Paul Nolan yard. Has ability and strips fitter. Worth including.

Returned from a spell over two weeks ago in a maiden hurdle (4526m) at Down Royal when he failed to complete the course. Looking elsewhere.

Returned from a 294-day spell last start with a win in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Limerick with today's rider D J O'Keeffe steering. Leading contender.

Disappointing when fifth last start in a G3 (3419m) at Down Royal after scoring in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Listowel two starts back. Bold showing expected.
