Improver in Naas handicaps over the winter on testing ground, winning 2m4f novice contest and only caught late in 3m1f Leinster National off 132 (clear of remainder); didn't appear to stay 3m5f of Irish National latest but definite contender back in trip here if handling quicker conditions.

J: Mark Walsh

T: C A Murphy

Hurdles winner didn't show much in opening chase runs, but there were signs of promise in his third of 11 on handicap chase debut here in January (2m4f, heavy); well backed in a Listed handicap here recently, landing the gamble by 0.5l (2m4f, heavy); up 7lb, but he made a number of jumping errors so there's scope for improvement; top chance if this trip doesn't cause any issues; the choice of Mark Walsh.

1-4 over hurdles and rated 130 in that sphere; some promise in his chasing debut on seasonal return here (2m, soft) but tailed off next two times; stayed on to take third in the final strides over C&D last time (heavy); interesting that from the five McManus runners, he's the pick of Walsh.

1-4 over hurdles and rated 130; steadily upped in trip in three runs over fences this term, some promise on debut here in November but well held twice since, albeit hampered on latest at Punchestown; back in trip here for handicap debut.

T: C A Murphy

1-4 over hurdles and rated 130; stayed on for a 20l fifth behind the smart Irish Panther on chase debut in a 2m contest at Naas; failed to build on that when raised in trip at Fairyhouse; has time on his side, but it looks as if he may need more of it.
