In fine form; won at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) in April; another good effort off 7lb higher mark at Cork (2m3f, good); step up in trip a plus; career-best needed off this mark; due to run here 5.35 Monday.

SR 94 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Modest point form, but ran well in opening maiden hurdle here last year when third (2m1f, yielding to soft); couldn't get near that level in three subsequent runs; returns from over a year absence and best watched for handicap bow.

Solid efforts in opening two handicaps on heavy ground, third at Fairyhouse and runner-up at Gowran; beaten when falling at Bellewstown last time (7-2 fav') on better ground; evidence says he might want it softer.

Super consistent form in autumn; winner of a Down Royal handicap off 90 (2m2f, good to firm) before following that with three runner-up finishes at Listowel, Punchestown, and here at 2m-2m2f; has risen in handicap for not winning; tries this trip for first time; check market now back from a break.

Four-time winner over hurdles, with latest win coming at Killarney in July (2m4f, yielding to soft) in a comfortable fashion; not much to shout about in his last three starts; just 4lb above last winning mark if the break has done him good.

Both hurdle wins have come on good ground; off the mark at Limerick in April last year (2m3f) and went in again at Tramore in August (2m5f) off 5lb lower; jumping issues evident at Tramore in October and soft ground against him at Clonmel last month; interesting back on his preferred surface with a run under his belt.

Point-to-point winner; 0-6 over hurdles; decent third of 12 in mares' handicap company at Navan in March (2m, soft); way below that level when tailed off over C&D in a maiden last time (yielding); others preferred.

Much improved sent chasing last season, winning twice (including here); sent off favourite over hurdles at Thurles and fences at Leopardstown when below best; again couldn't take advantage of significantly lower hurdles mark here last time (2m1f, yielding) when tailed off; attractive mark but clearly risky.
