Well beaten in a Punchestown hurdle last time when fifth. Others have brighter prospects.

Finished ninth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4224m) at Punchestown, with today's rider Mark Walsh piloting. That run was the first for the Padraig Roche yard. Requires further improvement.

Pulled up two starts back. Finished sixth last time, beaten 26 lengths, in a hurdle (3218m) at Navan. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Missed the frame when resuming two back in a hurdle (3218m) at this track. Made amends last time to salute in a hurdle (3218m) at Limerick by 3.5 lengths. Tough to stop again.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown. Fitter and sure to improve sharply.

Not raced for nine months. Closed off last preparation when 13th in a hurdle (3922m) at Punchestown, beaten 33 lengths. Changed yards to the Eddie & Harty stable. Has ability but tested this line-up.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (4023m) at Navan. Found the frame last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (3218m) at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks very hard to beat.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3218m) at Gowran Park, beaten 18 lengths. Can run a bold race fresh.

Six-year-old gelding third-up here on the back fairly moderate runs this campaign. Ran eighth in a maiden hurdle at Limerick in latest. Would need to improve sharply to threaten.

Unplaced two starts back in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Thurles then improved last time when he wound up in fourth in a hurdle (3218m) at Limerick, beaten 6 lengths. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

Useful jumper who was unplaced when resuming in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Cork two starts ago. Made amends and saluted by 6 lengths in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Clonmel most recently. Will prove hard to beat on current form.

Handy gelding who has won two of his six starts over the jumps. Was well held last time when tenth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Limerick. Disappointing on that occasion but is not to be underestimated.

Finished sixth two back in a hurdle (4023m) at Navan. Turned things around last time to fill a minor placing in a hurdle (3218m) at Navan, beaten 5.5 lengths. Right in the mix.
