Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a maiden hurdle (4325m) at Galway then filled a minor prize again last start in a maiden hurdle (4425m) at Punchestown, beaten 11 lengths. Likely to play a major role.

Saluted in a maiden hurdle (3922m) at Kilbeggan two starts back then made no impression when beaten 23 lengths into sixth in a hurdle (4828m) at Cheltenham last time. Certainly worth another chance.

Was far too good when resuming from a 237-day layoff last start, scoring by 18 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4526m) at Down Royal. Before that first-up run he went to the Henry De Bromhead stable. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Returned from a 137-day spell last start with a win in a novice hurdle (4526m) at this track with today's rider Cian Quirke steering. Big chance to go two-for-two this prep.

Varying fortunes of late. Won by 11 lengths two runs back in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Punchestown. Big change in fortune when he was eased out of the race last time out in a hurdle (4224m) at Navan.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest fifth in a bumper (3218m) at Naas. Improvement in store.

Was unplaced two back in a maiden hurdle (4325m) at Galway then again missed out in a maiden hurdle (3922m) at Clonmel last start. Looking to others.

Didn't threaten last start beaten 42 lengths and finishing ninth in a maiden hurdle (4425m) at Punchestown. Hard to make a positive case for him this time.

Unplaced two starts back in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Wexford then produced a better result last time when he wound up in fourth in a hurdle (4828m) at Cork, beaten 18 lengths. Looking to others.
