Lightly raced 7yo came good on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces when made plenty of use of in 2m7f Naas contest in February (heavy); dropped away tamely two out in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham following month on quicker ground (blinkered); return to easier ground and cheekpieces back on so don't be surprised at a bounce back.

T: Emmet Mullins

Lightly raced 7yo; fifth race over hurdles when justifying favouritism in the nine-runner Naas qualifier (2m7f, heavy) 18 days ago with cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut, helping to set the pace and holding on by a neck from Minella Sixo; tries blinkers this time; relatively unexposed and probably a thorough stayer, so he should figure in calculations.

Point-to-point winner has had light Rules campaign so far, showing nice bit of improvement with stamina test latest two maiden starts; just denied at Fairyhouse after running around before the last and losing momentum with a sloppy jump and at Navan looked in need of further when staying on fourth over 2m4f (soft-to-heavy); remains a work in progress and cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut; holds Cheltenham entries.

T: Emmet Mullins

Winner of his second point-to-point start; injured at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut; back from a 341-day break at Thurles with a positive effort in a novice contest; best run so far when beaten just a head at Fairyhouse last time (3m, soft), running around before the last and losing momentum with a sloppy jump; should have learned from that experience and has his chance again.

Point winner ran respectably in a Punchestown bumper on rules debut in 2024; injured at this track on hurdles bow but made a solid return in a Thurles novice last month; has to build on that.
