Went around in a steeplechase (4626m) at this track last time out but failed to complete the course at his first run of the campaign. Looks very hard to beat.

Was very good when returning from a 251-day layoff most recently, beaten 1.5 lengths into second in a steeplechase (4626m) at this track. Leading contender and can find winning form.

Hasn't raced since finishing 68 lengths away in ninth in a steeplechase (4023m) at Naas 10 months ago. Others rate better.

Last start was in a steeplechase (4626m) at this track when eased out of the race. Not likely to threaten in this field.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3218m) at Naas then again missed out in a steeplechase (4325m) at Fairyhouse last time. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Sent out at long odds in a steeplechase (3218m) at Naas last time when eased out of the race. Unlikely to threaten.

Yet to find the frame in two runs this preparation. Opened with a seventh in a steeplechase (3419m) at Navan then was 15 lengths adrift in a hurdle (3218m) at this track nearly three weeks ago. Can improve in this more suitable contest.

Has been well held in recent times including last start when beaten by 77 lengths in a steeplechase (4123m) at Navan. Does not look up to these on current form despite stepping up in distance.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4828m) at Clonmel, finishing fifth when partnered by today's rider John Shinnick. Others rate better.

Was disappointing again last time when fifth, beaten 42 lengths, in a steeplechase (4626m) at this track. Looking elsewhere.

Made a strong return from a 379-day layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4123m) at Navan, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey D J O'keeffe. Can find winning form this time.
