Was unplaced two back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown. Made amends last time to get the prize in a maiden hurdle (3118m) at Limerick by 18 lengths. Could prove hard to beat.

Did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden hurdle (3118m) at Limerick two runs back. Leading contender.

Has been kept to flat races recently. Could only manage seventh last time out over 3218m at Dundalk All Weather after he scored over the same course and distance the run before. In the mix.

Back from a 380-day break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Navan, beaten 14 lengths. May prove tough to stop.

Returns after a three months break. Strong campaign last preparation saluting the judge two times. Shapes well here and bold showing expected.

Resuming following a four-month spell. Last seen finishing down the field in a Dundalk AW handicap. Not likely.

Was pulled up in a novice hurdle over 3218m at Hexham at the last run before a break. Others are preferred.

Found the frame two back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Thurles then could only manage fifth last time in a maiden hurdle (4224m) at Leopardstown, beaten 16 lengths. All set to improve.

Was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Naas. Improved and found the frame last start in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Will take some stopping.

Returns from a spell of four months. Made just the one appearance last campaign and finished in the minors in a hurdle (3922m) at Catterick beaten 4L. Since switched to the Ian Donoghue yard. May improve.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Kilbeggan, beaten 16 lengths. Would need to improve further.

Resumes after a break of three months. Finished off last campaign with a sixth in a hurdle (3419m) at Tramore, beaten 34 lengths. Might need this run.

Returns from a 96-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with two placings from four attempts. Kicked off last prep with a sound third in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Navan. Expect him to be prominent.

Safely held in recent outings, the latest in a maiden hurdle (3520m) at Down Royal. Hard to recommend on current form.

Scored his maiden win two back at Naas by 11 lengths but failed to repeat the effort last time when fifth in a hurdle (3319m) at Thurles. Forward showing expected. Go close.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3721m) at Naas. Atoned for that run last time when he saluted in a hurdle (3319m) at Naas. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at this track then improved sharply to chalk-up a big win in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park four weeks ago. Major player.

Was unplaced two runs ago when resuming in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Wexford. Bounced back last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Wexford. Right in the mix.

Two runs this prep have been on the flat. Resumed with an unplaced effort at Dundalk All Weather then finished sixth last time over 1408m at Naas, beaten 4 lengths. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Well held two starts back and wasn't any better in a novice hurdle (3721m) at Leopardstown in latest outing. Hasn't won over this journey in four starts and will need to lift.

Resumes after a break of three months. Finished off last campaign with a seventh in a hurdle (3218m) at Punchestown, beaten 9 lengths. Will be better for this hitout.

Five-year-old stepping out for his fourth run back from a spell and looking to snap a poor run of current form. Can't recommend until he offers some improvement.
