Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a maiden hurdle (3621m) at Sligo then was a minor placegetter again last start in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Wexford, beaten 20 lengths. Well-placed to take this out.

Was very good when returning from a 206-day layoff most recently, saluting in a maiden hurdle (4425m) at Tramore by 1.75 lengths. Leading contender.

Missed the frame the start before last when popular in betting then again finished outside the top three last time when he was fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, at Navan over 2615m. Right in the mix back over the obstacles.

Finished 34 lengths from the winner last start when safely held in tenth hurdle. Prepared to risk here on recent form.

Scored at Cork two runs back before a disappointing seventh last start in a hurdle (3218m) at Limerick. Can make amends.

Scored at this track two runs back before a disappointing sixth last start in a hurdle (3822m) at this track. Better than latest. Can bounce back.

Four-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Wound up last campaign with a 13th on the flat. Resuming in tougher grade. Needs to find best to be competitive here.

Six-year-old mare third-up in this off two fairly moderate runs since resuming. Finished sixth in a maiden hurdle at Listowel in latest. Further improvement needed to threaten here.

Improved on her 12th on the flat two runs back when a 6 length sixth, again on the flat, last start over 1911m at Ballinrobe. Will be thereabouts on her return to jumping.

Did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (3621m) at Sligo but could only manage 12th in a hurdle (3218m) at Tramore last time, arriving 45 lengths behind the winner. Looking to others.
