Hurdle winner was 12l behind Irish Panther on chasing debut at Naas; has been hit and miss since but both his wins in that time have been over C&D so his course form can help him back here; has to rebound from a bad mistake at Fairyhouse last time.

Point and maiden hurdle winner; promising chase debut before clear-cut win in a Punchestown rated novice contest in December (2m, heavy), travelling and jumping well; made a mistake three out and dropped in 2m3f Grade 3 event won by Kappa Jy Pyke; got his season back on track with a 2m win at Punchestown; live chance for trainer who this in 2024.

Won sole point-to-point start for Derek O'Connor; only two runs over hurdles, winning 2m1f Cork maiden on second attempt; backed up promising chase debut effort at Naas (4l off Jacob's Ladder) with ready win in 2m rated novice here last month, travelling and jumping well; should have no trouble with 2m4f; yard won this with Spillane's Tower two years ago and looks a strong contender.

Won sole point-to-point start for Derek O'Connor; only two runs over hurdles, won 2m1f Cork maiden on second attempt; good chance in this company if building on a long-priced Naas third on chasing debut at Naas a month ago.

Won sole point-to-point start for Derek O'Connor; only two runs over hurdles, won 2m1f Cork maiden on second attempt; interesting prospect but relative inexperience could be an issue against more seasoned hurdlers.
