T: Henry De Bromhead

Campaigned only at about 2m; made a successful handicap debut in Limerick contest (soft to heavy; Listed) on last appearance, proving suited by the return to hurdles after two chase defeats; this 5yo looks open to further improvement and has possibilities provided he stays the new trip.

Maiden hurdle winner early last season; subsequently a close second in 4yo hurdle here and a 7l runner-up in Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse (2m, sft-hvy); two modest efforts over fences this term and now back over timber in first handicap; can't discount for top yard with rider's claim easing welter burden.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Course maiden hurdle winner on Irish debut just over a year ago; twice tried at Grade 2 level afterwards, second occasion chasing home a clear-cut winner at Fairyhouse; made a solid debut over fences when fourth behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan; can be fancied to uphold form with Harvard Guy and Anotherway; big chance with the help of the allowance.

French recruit won Punchestown maiden hurdle on yard debut this time last year; twice tried at Grade 2 level afterwards, second occasion chasing home a clear-cut winner at Fairyhouse (soft-to-heavy); has the scope for chasing but 4yo faces a daunting task on debut.
