Finished sixth when fresh from a spell last start in the G3 Native Upmanship (Pierce Molony Memorial) Novice Chase (4325m) at Thurles, with today's rider P M O'brien piloting. Tougher task this time.

Not raced for three months. Closed off last preparation when fifth in a steeplechase (4023m) at Gowran Park, beaten 13 lengths. Best form puts him right in this.

Not setting the world on fire recently. Two starts ago clocked-in fourth in a LR (5532m) at Punchestown. Didn't bounce back when he was pulled up last time out in a steeplechase (5330m) at Cheltenham. Certainly worth another chance.

Finished a modest 11th in a steeplechase (6035m) at Cheltenham last start. That came after he pulled up two runs ago. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hasn't had things go right recently. Two runs ago finished 11th in a LR (5532m) at Punchestown. Didn't bounce back when he was eased out of the race last time out in a steeplechase (5029m) at Cheltenham. Cannot be written off.

Did not finish the race in a LR (5029m) at Naas last time out. Worth another chance in this grade.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Kicked off with an unplaced effort in a hurdle (4928m) at Haydock Park then finished 14th last time in a steeplechase (5330m) at Cheltenham. Not sure he is up to this.

Finished a modest fourth in a steeplechase (6035m) at Cheltenham last start. That came after he two runs back. Ideally placed to find the winner's stall.

Useful jumper who found some form to score in a steeplechase (4325m) at Leopardstown last time out. That came following an unplaced effort in a hurdle (4727m) at Gowran Park two starts back. Makes appeal.

Finished fourth two back in a steeplechase (4928m) at Carlisle then again missed out in a steeplechase (4123m) at Down Royal last time. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Did a fine job to score by 2.75 lengths at his latest appearance in a steeplechase (4928m) at Limerick. Leading hope again.

Did a reasonable job when she finished second in a LR (4828m) at Leopardstown two runs back. Improved sharply to score a easy win by 9 lengths in a steeplechase (4123m) at Navan more recently. Ideally placed to win again.

Did well to finish second two back in a steeplechase (4526m) at Punchestown but could only manage seventh in a LR (5532m) at Punchestown last time, arriving 14 lengths behind the winner. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Missed the placings in a hurdle (4023m) at Navan two back then improved to finish third in a steeplechase (4325m) at Leopardstown last time out. Right in the mix if he is at his best.

Returned from a spell in a steeplechase (4828m) at Navan but failed to finish. Hard to make a decent case.

Hasn't fired a shot this time in, the latest beaten 15 lengths in fifth in a steeplechase at Limerick. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Missed the frame the start before last in a hurdle (4626m) at Naas then finished sixth most recently in a hurdle (4828m) at Cork. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a steeplechase (4526m) at Limerick then again missed out in a steeplechase (4828m) at this track last start. Looking to others.
