Was 6 lengths away in second last time out in a hurdle (5029m) at Navan, proving no match for the dominant Found A Diamond. Very hard to beat this time.

Unplaced two starts back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Cork then produced a better result last start when he finished fourth in a hurdle (4023m) at Cork, beaten 10 lengths. Tough to stop on his best form.

Ran well below expectations last time, finishing a 66 length 17th over 4928m in a hurdle at Cork before a spell. Overall strike-rate poor and others are preferred.

Was unplaced two back in the LR Cork Stayers Novice Hurdle (4928m). Found the frame last time in a much better performance in a maiden hurdle (4526m) at Thurles, beaten 16 lengths. Big task ahead.

Hasn't inspired much confidence in two runs this campaign, finishing 38 lengths off the winner second-up in a hurdle (4224m) at Navan. Prefer to see him find something before backing.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4224m) at Tramore then again missed out in a hurdle (4023m) at Navan last start. Big task ahead.

Could only manage seventh hurdle last start. Happy to be looking around him at this point.

Has not appeared since he failed to finish the race in a steeplechase (4928m) at Punchestown on November 15 2024. Might find this a bit too tough.

Finished second two runs back in a hurdle (4828m) at Limerick then he failed to complete the course in a hurdle (4828m) at Cork last time out. Looks very hard to beat.

Likes to make all in his races. Gave a sight but reined in late when second in a hurdle (4928m) at this track last time. Leading prospect who can find winning form here.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4023m) at this track, finishing tenth when partnered by today's rider C G O'dwyer. Needs to go up a level.

Missed the placings but wasn't beaten all that far last time when sixth in a hurdle (4224m) at Tramore. Hard to beat.

Impossible to fault recently, stringing together two wins over the jumps. Added to the tally in a steeplechase (4023m) at Haydock Park last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths. No reason to get off him at this stage.

Has not raced since finishing eighth in a 4526m hurdle at Limerick 10 months ago. Prepared to risk.

Has been finishing at the tail of the field in most recent outings, the latest in a hurdle (4023m) at this track. Looking elsewhere.

Finished 14th when fresh from a spell two back in a hurdle (4224m) at Tramore. Turned things around last time to grab third in a hurdle (4023m) at this track, beaten 15 lengths. In the mix again.

Has been below his best for a long time and is now winless in 648 days. Safely held again when seventh in a hurdle (4828m) at Punchestown last start and looks tested this line-up. Hard to support.

Up to 1181 days without a win and that poor run is likely to continue here. Looks tested in this line-up fresh.
