Took this in good style 12 months ago; lightly raced since but advanced his form after nine months off when second of ten in 2m1f handicap at Killarney 15 days ago; up 4lb here but this Irish challenger rates a player.

Bought for 40,000euros after winning a French hurdle race on very soft in October 2024; returned from a 519-day absence with a positive runner-up finish at Wexford (2m, soft) despite being unfancied in the market (11-1); could step forward now but has never raced on this better ground.

One of two for trainer; in decent form in the second half of last year, placing three times before gaining a C&D novice hurdle win (yielding); another positive effort when placed at Down Royal next time (2m1f, yielding) off 1lb lower; may come on for moderate return at Cork last time (2m3f, yielding).

Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; may show the benefit of a recent outing at Killarney.

Won a bumper and maiden hurdle over 2m for Willie Mullins in an interrupted career; form for current yard over hurdles and Flat suggests he needs to find a fair bit of improvement.

Won back-to-back handicaps at Cork (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in August/October; tailed off in a Punchestown novice handicap next time (2m1f, soft to heavy); not too bad at Cork last month when eighth of 19 (2m3f, yielding); could build on that and this ground is what he wants.

One of two for trainer; C&D maiden winner here last summer (good) and added a second hurdles win at Listowel (2m, good to yielding) next time when vanquishing Paul's Dream into a 3.25l second; form dropped off in three subsequent runs, including here; break needs to have done him good; remains 6lb above last winning mark.

Record of 1-9 on Flat with the win coming at Navan last June (1m6f, good) off 73; good hurdler and added a fourth win in that sphere at Killarney last time; not discounted.
