Beat the talented Storm Heart in a valuable DRF handicap hurdle in 2024; maiden over fences; seventh when well fancied for a Cheltenham handicap; suffered interference off the home turn, might have finished closer; addition of tongue-tie may help.

10st 7lb

J: Mark Walsh

T: Emmet Mullins

Reached his peak over hurdles when winning a valuable race at Leopardstown (2m, soft) last February but finished last in the County Hurdle here next time; the type to make a chaser and, after a laboured effort on his handicap chase debut at Naas, he fared better in a Down Royal novice in January; needs to show his jumping can hold up under pressure but this trip should suit better than the 2m he's been running over and plenty of potential remains.

T: Emmet Mullins

Very useful (133-rated) hurdler whose two wins last season included very valuable Leopardstown handicap; more of a slow-burner over fences this term, Fairyhouse beginners' third his best run; let down by jumping against more experienced rivals in handicap on latest when never landing a blow at Naas; back in novice grade and Mark Walsh remains loyal.

Smart hurdler disappointed in the County Hurdle, but has returned this season over fences with two creditable beginners' chase runs; shaped like further would suit better when keeping on for third at Fairyhouse last time (2m, soft); makes handicap chase debut now and is the choice of Mark Walsh.

J: Donagh Meyler

Smart hurdler disappointed in the County Hurdle but is still rated 133 in that sphere; ran a fine race on chase debut/return at Thurles and has to be respected today with improvement likely.
