No promise in handicaps around 2m5f (Martin Pipe at Cheltenham latterly) since joining Dan Skelton; his hurdle form for Willie Mullins came at around 2m, so it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but the yard's other runners hold more obvious claims.

Failed to complete on his last two runs, falling on final start for Willie Mullins then pulled up in 2m5f handicap when 66-1 for new yard; with those letters next to his name, he cannot be supported confidently in a race of this depth.

Formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort over hurdles when second in conditions event at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in December; third when falling two out next time; hardly looks thrown in on handicap hurdle debut so probably best watched on first outing for a new yard.

One of two for trainer; some fine runs in defeat on the Flat last summer; won a Naas maiden over this trip on heavy last season before a poor run in the Triumph Hurdle; Townend retains the faith since finishing a runner-up behind a longer priced stablemate at Punchestown in December (2m, heavy); big chance.

Some fine runs in defeat on the Flat over the summer; won a Naas maiden over this trip on heavy last season before a poor run in the Triumph Hurdle; looks to be the yard's selected runner so has to be respected.
