Returned from a 97-day spell last start and came to grief in a hurdle (4224m) at Cheltenham. Expected to go close this time.

Hasn't raced for three months. Closed last campaign with a win in the G3 Limestone Lad Hurdle (3218m) at Naas, getting home by one length. Should feature on his best form.

Genuine jumper who saluted in the G3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park two starts back. Found a couple better at the latest appearance in a hurdle (4224m) at Cheltenham. Can return to winning form.

Did not finish the race two starts back. Made amends last time to salute by 1.3 lengths in a hurdle (4626m) at Thurles. Hard to fault on his recent run.

Impressed when successful in a LR (3218m) at Leopardstown two back then finished 13th more recently in a hurdle (3419m) at Cheltenham, beaten 8 lengths. Must be given another chance - will take some stopping.

Missed the frame two back in a hurdle (3822m) at Taunton. Atoned for that run last time to finish second in the G2 National Spirit Hurdle (3822m) at Fontwell Park, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to have despite recent form.

Sent out at long odds in a hurdle (4224m) at Cheltenham last time when eased out of the race. Looks safely held.

Second up. Ran fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths in the G3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park on a heavy surface when well supported first up. Will strip much fitter for the run. Rates well and expect him to be prominent.

Well held last start finishing 18 lengths off the winner in the G2 THE GOLDEN MILLER (4123m) at Cheltenham. Hard to make a positive case for him this time.

Returned from a 387-day spell last start with a win in the G3 Quevega Mares Hurdle (4023m) at Punchestown with today's rider John Shinnick steering. Tougher task this time.
