Winning hurdler is 0-3 in chases and rated 95; kept on well for a 2.75l fourth of 14 in Down Royal beginners' on latest (19.5f, gd-yld); place claims again if sees out this longer trip but that's not guaranteed.

Second runner for yard; top-rated of these over fences; third on sole point start; 1-13 over hurdles; tailed off on chase bow at Fairyhouse; improved fifth of 16 in Thurles handicap chase (2m2f, soft) in February; should be involved if the ground doesn't deteriorate.

Third on sole point-to-point start; 1-13 over hurdles (rated 104), that win gained at Leopardstown at Christmas 2024; tailed off on chasing debut at Fairyhouse; probably wants better ground.

Third on sole point-to-point start; 1-13 over hurdles (rated 104), that win gained at Leopardstown during Christmas 2024; chasing debutant will need to find plenty to get involved; prefers decent ground; stable second string.

Won this last year off just 2lb lower; okay efforts in defeat at Punchestown and Thurles this term and this has likely been the plan; considered in new headgear combination.
