J: Mike O’Connor

T: Henry De Bromhead

Won a maiden hurdle here in 2023 and is 1-10 over fences; hasn't had much racing in the last two years but ran two fine races in valuable Cheltenham handicaps last winter; not as good after wind surgery in the Ultima handicap last time; player if at best.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Didn't jump well when 16l fifth to Myretown in this race last March (good to soft); solid course record otherwise and he twice made the frame here (3m1f/3m2f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year; has had a wind operation since and he's an each-way candidate if jumping better than 12 months ago.

Returned from a break with good fourth of 18 here (3m1f, good) in October, having been second in the same race 12 months earlier; last win came on soft to heavy ground; wears first-time tongue-tie; could be bang there.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Perhaps unfortunate not to win this 12 months ago and returned in March with a highly commendable fifth in the Ultima given that his jumping was a major hindrance (had fallen the time before); simply never gave his running at Punchestown on final start; if he can find any fluency over his fences he'd be a danger to all; stable has won the last two editions of this.
