Romeo Coolio

11st 7lb

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Champion Bumper second and Supreme third at last two Cheltenham Festivals; 4-4 over fences, winning three Grade 1s, but raced lazily in Irish Arkle (2m1f, soft) last time which has brought about this hike in trip; possibly the most talented horse in the race, but the trip is a real unknown and the fitting of a hood suggests even his connections have their doubts.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Course Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last season and better in defeat when placed at Cheltenham and Aintree; bright start over fences at Down Royal and beat three-time chase winner Gold Dancer in the 2m4f Drinmore at Fairyhouse; backed that up with a game C&D display win at Christmas; ideally needs further but also capable of high-class form at this trip; looks the part despite slight doubt about how he will handle very testing ground.

Not far off the best of last term's novice hurdlers; won Grade 1 event at this meeting and better in defeat when placed at Cheltenham and Aintree; made a good start over fences at Down Royal; much too strong for three-time chase winner Gold Dancer in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse.

Point winner and course bumper winner; not far off the best of last term's novice hurdlers; won Grade 1 Leopardstown event at Christmas and better in defeat when placed at the same level at both Cheltenham and Aintree; made a good start over fences at Down Royal; leading chance for trainer who has won this race a record eight times.

T: Gordon Elliott

Classy performer both in bumpers and last term in novice hurdle division (rated 150), winning Grade 1 Leopardstown novice at Christmas and better again when beaten 7l at same level at both Cheltenham and Aintree; high-class chasing recruit should have no issue with 2m4f trip and has reportedly schooled well; should take plenty of beating.
