Not seen since finishing a disappointing ninth in the G1 Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown. Looks a leading contender and bold showing expected.

Stellar novice hurdle campaign rounded off with a G1 win at Punchestown. Looked out of sorts in two tough assignments since. Needs a revival.

Admirable eleven-year-old who's given connections some mighty days. Couldn't see out the trip in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot before Christmas. This drop in trip will suit. Looks an each way chance.

Nine-year-old gelding back from a break. Form over this journey too good to ignore. Rates a strong each way chance.

Fine novice chase campaign last season and returns with this run over hurdles. Suspect he has bigger targets over fences later in the spring but has the talent. Great chance on best form.

Has progressed nicely this season and took his form to a new level when runner up in the G2 Galmoy hurdle recently at Gowran Park. Trainer likes to target this race. Key chance expected to bounce back.
