Very useful 137-rated hurdler; now 11lb higher over fences after nine starts; twice runner-up last season; three wins and a second from four starts as a second-season novice this term; three of those runs were on goodish ground, but he handled testing conditions when mastering the useful Fleur In The Park at Punchestown a month ago.

Very useful 137-rated hurdler; now 7lb higher over fences after eight starts; twice runner-up last season, two wins and a second from three starts as a second-season novice this term; has been effective on goodish ground in recent months; could be vulnerable if conditions are testing.

Smart hurdler, though with an inferior mark to King Of Kingsfield; however, he's already a better chaser and after dominating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe he was runner-up (from the front) in a Grade 3 at Galway; standout claims.

T: W P Mullins

Decent hurdler is a higher-rated chaser despite just one win from six attempts, unchallenged in beating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe in May (good) on latest; posted higher RPR's in defeat earlier under similar forcing tactics, notably fourth in valuable 2m1f Plumpton handicap; Townend's pick but possibly vulnerable at this level.

Useful hurdler, though won only once from eight starts; 0-5 over fences and appears flattered by an official rating of 140; made a couple of mistakes when beaten favourite (fourth) for a Plumpton handicap five weeks ago; reproduction of neck second to Aspire Tower at Wexford might be enough in this company.
