11st 7lb

J: Keith Donoghue

T: Gavin Cromwell

Second-season novice who has improved significantly of late, winning Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park (3m1f handicap, heavy) in January; something of a fortunate winner that day and needs to improve again.

J: Mr Eoin Staples

T: Gavin Cromwell

Grade 2 winner over hurdles; 0-9 over fences but might have given Haiti Couleurs something to think about in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham had he not come down two out; no show in the Irish National; good third to Final Demand in Navan beginners' on return; only midfield in the 3m5f Porterstown before a better effort when fourth in the Paddy Power.

Grade 2 winner in a short career over hurdles; 0-8 over fences but might have given Haiti Couleurs something to think about in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham had he not come down two out; no show in the Irish National; good third to Final Demand in Navan beginners' on return but only midfield in the Porterstown on latest.

T: Gavin Cromwell

Grade 2 winner in a short career over hurdles; now 0-7 over fences but might have given Haiti Couleurs something to think about in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham had he not come down two out; never showed in the Irish National afterwards; interesting following third behind Final Demand over a trip short of his best in a Navan beginners' event.

J: Sean Flanagan

T: Gavin Cromwell

Didn't hang about over hurdles despite securing Grade 2 honours; now 0-6 over fences but might have given Haiti Couleurs something to think about in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham had he not come down two out; never showed in the Irish National afterwards; he's effective at 2m4f but probably wants further ideally.
