Unplaced two starts back in a hurdle (4425m) at Punchestown then improved last time when he finished fourth in a hurdle (4425m) at Naas, beaten 25 lengths. In the mix.

Yet to strike form in five runs from a spell and well off the three wins he recorded when last in work. Having trouble finding best and would need to improve sharply.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a steeplechase (4526m) at this track but could only manage sixth in a steeplechase (4828m) at Fairyhouse last time, arriving 34 lengths behind the winner. Looking to others.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 14 lengths into fifth in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles. Each-way chance with added fitness.

Disappointing at the end of last campaign and was not much better resuming. Looks tested without a big turnaround in form.

Things went amiss last start when he failed to complete the course in a hurdle (4626m) at Thurles. Wasn't beaten too far when second two starts ago in a steeplechase (4023m) at Cork. Likely to make amends for the last start mishap.

Disappointing when seventh last start in a steeplechase (4828m) at Down Royal after finishing second at Tramore two starts back. Among the each way chances.

Last start ran in a hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse but was eased out of it. Capable enough and is worth including.

Failed to complete the course two starts back. Made amends and wasn't beaten far when second in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles most recently. Could prove hard to beat.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3822m) at this track. Finished second last time in a much better performance in a hurdle (4224m) at this track, beaten 22 lengths. Cannot be written off.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (4727m) at Killarney, beaten 7 lengths. Might be hard to stop.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a steeplechase (4828m) at Navan then could only manage seventh most recently in a steeplechase (4828m) at Fairyhouse. Big task ahead.

Hasn't tasted success for three years. Last start finished 25 lengths from the winner in seventh in a hurdle (4023m) at Thurles. Has ability but improvement needed.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse. Atoned for that run last time when he scored in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles. Will prove hard to beat on current form.

Belied the big odds last start when third in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles. Leading hope again.

Third-up here after being well held in two runs this campaign,the latest beaten 34 lengths in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Comfortably held at Leopardstown 10 days back. Unlikely to threaten today.
