J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Irish point winner; has won two of his four chase starts (at 2m/2m1f on good to yielding and heavy) and had no realistic chance in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month, but he could have made a better impression with some of his jumping; this is a new test for him under rules but he should have the scope to do better back in a handicap; yard runs three.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Maiden hurdle winner last season but then lost his form; has done well in three starts over fences; won a Killarney beginners' last August, 8l second in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October; handled heavy ground when beating subsequent winner Drumgill in a handicap at Gowran in November; useful sort but hardly in the same league as his two rivals.

Maiden hurdle winner last season but then lost his form; however, won a Killarney beginners chase and second in a Tipperary Grade 3 since; solid chance though his best form is on better ground.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Winning hurdler (rated 131 in that sphere) made a flawless start to his chasing career when scoring readily at Killarney (2m1f, gd-yld) and the third has since boosted the form; brings plenty of potential to the table but his best form is on much better ground than this.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Point winner on sole start in that sphere; hurdle winner at Down Royal last winter has been soundly beaten in strong company since, including in the Galway Hurdle; however, is rated 131 so of interest on chasing debut.
