Failed to raise his modest profile when tailed off on chase debut at Tramore (2m6f, good); hard to warm to on this return from an absence.

Point winner who went 0-6 over hurdles; led early but ended up tailed off in a 2m4f Limerick handicap on recent chase debut; he does have some ability and this is a desperately weak race.
AI verdict

SR 72 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

No closer than 20l in five defeats over fences and was pulled up back hurdling last time; testing ground was no excuse as he enjoys the mud.

SR 74 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Close up in a 2m handicap hurdle at Limerick (soft to heavy; first-time tongue-tie) before finishing well behind on his chase debut back there 11 days ago when an early mistake didn't help his cause; could have a part to play if avoiding similar mishaps.
AI verdict

SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

His best hurdles form for Charles Byrnes seems long gone and he's now regressive; well beaten in his previous chase this January.

Her sole career win came in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here in September; beaten 22l in a 2m4f handicap on her belated chase debut but it wasn't a bad run.
AI verdict

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Much improved to make a successful stable debut in a 2m handicap hurdle at Punchestown and she nearly followed up on chase debut at Downpatrick (2m3f, good to yielding); jumped soundly enough that day and the one to beat here.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 11-5 gives a real edge in this handicap.
