Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance.

T: Henry De Bromhead

High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit.

J: Patrick M O’Brien

T: Henry De Bromhead

Fifth in two editions of the County Hurdle here before his second and third in the last two runnings of this race, which is quite something; has a 1lb higher mark than last year; well held in his only hurdle race this term but placed in Flat maidens either side, and has to be in place calculations.

Smart hurdler, also a winning chaser; placed in last two Coral Cups; third in C&D maiden in November on Flat/AW debut (El Galvino second); disappointing over hurdles at Punchestown on New Year's Eve; veteran has place claims.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Smart hurdler, also a winning chaser; three wins over hurdles; placed in the Coral Cup in 2024 (second to Langer Dan) and last season, when third behind the 5lb-receiving Jimmy Du Seuil; third in a 1m4f AW maiden five weeks ago; should be well primed for his bid to repeat last year's win in this event when the outsider of three against a Willie Mullins-trained pair.
