Stayers' Hurdle winner at Cheltenham in 2024; second to Bob Olinger last year; experienced a rare off day when bidding to regain his crown last month, lost place at eighth and ran into traffic when rallying; despite that, strong chance of winning this race for the third time and adding to this season's Grade 1 wins at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown; blinkered for the first time.

He has a very strong record in this race with a close third in 2023 (soft), a win in 2024 (soft) and a solid second to Bob Olinger 12 months ago (good to soft); won three Grade 1s since, latest the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (2m7f, good to yielding) where he beat Bob Olinger by 7l (albeit with that rival lacking a recent outing, unlike this fellow); has had a break prior to running in this race in each of the last two seasons; leading player.

Enjoyed a brilliant 2023-24 campaign in which he won Stayers' Hurdle and the Punchestown equivalent; second to Lossiemouth in last year's Hatton's Grace; beaten by Bob Olinger at Cheltenham before signing off with Punchestown win; had just enough in reserve to hold off a strong challenge from Ballyburn in the Hatton's Grace; major player.

Caused a surprise when beating Klassical Dream in this race in 2022; following year, beat Impaire Et Passe here as prelude to a brilliant campaign in which he won Stayers' Hurdle and the Punchestown equivalent; no match for Lossiemouth 12 months ago; beaten by Bob Olinger at Cheltenham before signing off with Punchestown win; sets a very high standard.
