Was racing well off best prior to a spell, however at his very best when fresh he can measure up. Has three wins, three placings from 14 starts fresh. Others make more appeal.

Was at long odds last time in a hurdle (4123m) at Fairyhouse but failed to finish. Happy to risk this time.

Races over the jumps today after doing his recent racing on the flat. Last start finished 12th at Dundalk All Weather over 2414m. Well-placed and appeals as an each-way chance.

Impressive winner in a hurdle (4023m) at Cork two runs ago then wasn't in the hunt when tenth more recently in a hurdle (3922m) at Punchestown. In the mix if he can find the form from two runs back.

Not setting the world on fire of late. Two starts back finished fifth in a novice hurdle (3419m) at Killarney. Hopes of a rebound were dashed when he failed to complete the course last time out in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a steeplechase (3319m) at Down Royal then again missed out in a steeplechase (3218m) at Cheltenham last time. Likely to figure on his best figures.

Seven-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when tenth in a hurdle (4023m) at Punchestown. This class tougher and others rate better.

Last appeared when third (2011m) at Curragh on October 16. Does boast a solid first-up record. Should be prominent.

Not beaten far two back when second in a hurdle (3218m) at Wetherby before missing the placings last time in a hurdle (3822m) at Taunton, beaten 8 lengths. Expected to bounce back.

Finished eighth when fresh from a spell last start in a steeplechase (3922m) at Wexford, with today's rider D J O'keeffe steering. Improvement in store.

Extremely good jumper who has strung together two wins over the obstacles. Added to the tally last time in a novice hurdle (3419m) at Punchestown. It would be brave to go against him.

Back from a 244-day break. Finished off last campaign when 18th in a hurdle (4928m) at Cork, beaten 67 lengths. Among the chances fresh.
