Useful hurdler in his pomp and landed the 2018 Coral Cup; showed he retained ability on return from a lengthy absence at Punchestown in early May and then confirmed the promise of that with his sixth win in a conditions hurdle at Punchestown in the same month; travelled like a winner for a long way on belated chasing debut at the Galway festival before dropping back to third late on; can build on that back in trip.

Classy hurdler won the Coral Cup in 2018; late recruit to chasing but did it nicely second time up a Listowel before making the frame behind Cape Gentleman at Cork; might struggle against some of the younger guns here. |

Classy sort over the years but a late recruit to the chasing ranks; has made a good fist of it all the same, winning a Listowel beginners on second roll of the dice with a nice performance; hardy and won't be far away. |

2018 Coral Cup winner; made satisfactory return from a lengthy absence at Punchestown in early May and gained his fifth hurdles win in a conditions event; prominent for a long way on belated chasing debut at the Galway festival before dropping back to third late on; won readily at Listowel on second attempt. |

Plenty of good form without winning for Martin Brassil; took advantage of a weak maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan and backed that up at Downpatrick in a rated novice hurdle; wasn't disgraced at Galway but no surprise to see connections wasting no time in sending him chasing given he looks tailor made for this game.

Improved performer when sent chasing last season, reportedly sustaining an injury when disappointing favourite for valuable Fairyhouse handicap at Easter; back hurdling a fortnight ago off much more favourable mark but tame finishing effort; still has to be respected off this sort of mark but recent run not that encouraging. |

Promising and consistent novice chasing form last season, leading him to being ante-post favourite for the Grand Annual (missed race due to testing ground); disappointing 100-30fav for valuable Fairyhouse handicap chase four weeks ago but excuse for that effort when reportedly injured post race; 138-rated chaser of obvious interest back over hurdles where rated 121. |

Dual winner in England for Nicky Henderson, including a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham in 2019; ran okay in a couple of Coral Cups and not disgraced over fences, including when third last time in a novice at Worcester in May; stays further and not a total surprise should he get into the shake-up on his Irish debut.

None too consistent as he reminded us when a disappointing favourite in Take All's handicap at Wexford, but he had that rival behind when runner-up at Punchestown the time before (2m5f, good to yielding); one to consider now returning from a break. |

Classy prospect at one point; had form with Klassical Dream as a novice hurdler, including when fourth to that rival in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown; sole win came in a Wexford maiden hurdle back in 2019 but he hasn't been seen since finishing well-beaten behind Thyme Hill at the Cheltenham November meeting that year; interesting on chasing debut on his return and not one to give up on given he promised a lot as a young horse.

Classy sort whose three chase wins include Red Rum Handicap at Aintree and valuable 2m Cheltenham handicap in October under hefty weight when racing up with pace; both those wins came on good ground so not sure if he'll be at his best in these conditions and Rachel Blackmore rides the bottom-weighted The Folkes Tiara. |

Won the always-competitive Red Rum Handicap at Aintree (2m, good to soft; 7lb lower) and would have given the winning machine Easy Game a bit more to think about in a conditions chase at Listowel (2m3f) but for a late mistake; that Aintree form is very solid and he enters calculations. |

Made all for wide-margin wins in two four-runner handicaps here (2m3f/2m1f, good) last May, those are his only two runs at Sedgefield and he's now 9lb below his last winning mark; switched to visor when there was an upturn in his form on latest outing; tongue-tie (absent since 2021 in his Irish days) returns and 7lb claimer is recruited; of renewed interest. |

Below par at Wetherby last month and has to bounce back, but he won two in a row at Sedgefield (2m3f/2m1f, good) in May and returned from a break with a fair third of four at Kelso (2m1f, good) in October; also effective on good to soft ground and he's not written off. |

Easily won a C&D seller (good) in December on final run for Gordon Elliott and it was a competitive handicap at Sandown (2m, soft) in which he was tailed off on last month's stable debut; back on better ground but it's hard to be overly confident after last time. |
