Half-brother to top-class State Man made a winning hurdles debut at Tramore last year; ran a decent race behind stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown in March; fading in third when falling at the last at Cork and poor jumping took its toll when pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing now; has twice been scratched on good-to-yielding ground, which is a concern.

Tramore maiden winner (yielding) last year; after a long layoff, was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown but was running well considering he faced a stiff task at the weights when a faller at the last (held in third) behind two 150+ rated rivals over 2m at Cork over Easter; half-brother to State Man remains unexposed and could go well if staying this longer trip (Townend's choice); hood back on.

Tramore maiden hurdle winner (16.5f, yielding) was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown (18.5f, sft-hvy) last month; still relatively early days for this half-brother to State Man but is conceding 5lb to higher rated rivals here; Absurde looks yard's main hope.

Half-brother to State Man is a very lightly-raced 8yo with just three runs under his belt; unable to make breakthrough in two bumpers in 2024; off the mark immediately in a weak Tramore contest in April (2m1, yielding); rider suggested he likely prefers better ground on that occasion; up against experienced rivals here and Townend rides El Fabiolo.
