Found the frame two back in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Thurles then could only manage 12th last time in a maiden hurdle (4626m) at Cork, beaten 102 lengths. Right in the mix.

Finished fifth two back in a hurdle (3319m) at Clonmel. Made amends last time to win in a hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel by 8 lengths. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a hurdle (3218m) at Naas but could only manage ninth in a hurdle (4325m) at this track last time, arriving 40 lengths behind the winner. Strong each-way hope.

Facing a winning drought of more than a year but not too far away last time when fourth in a steeplechase (4626m) at Clonmel 14 days ago. Looks one of the each way hopes in the race.

Made a winning return from a 398-day layoff last time out in a hurdle (4123m) at Down Royal partnered by today's rider P Byrnes. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Turned in a much better run last time when second in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Wexford. Can open winning account.

Out-of-form gelding who has been well beaten in both runs back from a spell. Hard to envisage a form reversal today.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a steeplechase (3922m) at Wexford then again missed out in a steeplechase (3922m) at this track last start. Will thereabouts.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a steeplechase (4325m) at Thurles then again missed out in a steeplechase (4626m) at Clonmel last start. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Went around in a hurdle (3419m) at Cork last time out but did not complete the course at his first run following a break. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hasn't fired a shot in four runs this time in, the latest when 13th in a hurdle at Cork. Struggling to recapture his best form of late and appears tested in this line up.

Resumed in a hurdle (4325m) at this track last start but failed to finish. Isn’t among the top hopes.

Has started four times so far and yet to threaten, the latest finishing tenth in a novice hurdle (3922m) at Punchestown before a break. Unlikely to threaten without plenty of luck.

Finds it hard to win and facing a drought of more than four years but wasn't far away last start when second, beaten 6 lengths, in a hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel. Rates highly in this field and is expected to be in the finish.

Unwanted in betting last few and has run accordingly. Struggling for form and happy to risk again.

Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 26 lengths when ninth over 4626m in a steeplechase at Clonmel. Handy when right and is not to be underestimated.

Hasn't raced since finishing 26 lengths away in ninth in a hurdle (4023m) at Thurles three months ago. Solid top-three chance.

Looking to improve on a moderate seventh when resuming last start in a hurdle (3319m) at Thurles. Cannot enthuse.
