Form & Verdict

Point-to-point winner; smart prospect who got off the mark under rules with a maiden hurdle success at Navan when stepped up to this trip for the first time; has to give weight away to his rivals but less exposed and could be capable.

Form & Verdict

Best form is at 2m and he's more exposed than his rivals; had a tough ask in a Grade 2 at Punchestown last month when tailed off and has a fair bit to find on form here too.

Form & Verdict

No match for Galopin Des Champs at Leoaprdstown over Christmas having shaped with promise on his chase debut previously; interesting back over hurdles and his best form is on decent ground over similar trips.
