Not ideal giving weight away to all rivals on the back of a couple of below-par runs, but holds a live chance on the basis of his peak form; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; trainer has 38 per cent strike rate here across last five seasons (21 wins from 55 runners).

Lightly raced since winning a maiden hurdle almost three years ago; respectable form in a pair of conditions hurdles and a competitive Pertemps Qualifier at Leopardstown before well-beaten in another competitive handicap at the same venue last month; drops back in trip here and comes into calculations in an interesting contest.

Hasn't won since his maiden hurdle success in 2019; has shown he retains all his ability in three runs since returning from lengthy absence but doesn't look well handicapped on anything he's done so far; 12l behind Panda Boy over C&D latest; unexposed having just his second start at this trip.

Fine effort to land lucrative Red Mills Irish EBF auction series final at Punchestown festival on just second start over hurdles, defying 167-day layoff (ran to RPR 126); drop from 2m4f to 2m1f at track like this unsure to be in his favour but remains open to improvement as unexposed type.

Failed to run to expectations on debut in a Punchestown bumper last December; much better when third at Kilbeggan on reappearance, form franked by runner-up who won 20-runner Navan bumper next time; much too strong for seven rivals (including a below-par Free Nelson) at Fairyhouse last month.

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.

Versatile type who won a Downpatrick maiden (2m6f, good) in May, and after close seconds in his next two starts he got back on the scoresheet at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in August; that was a golden opportunity but he won with plenty in hand and just about sets the standard under a double penalty here; big player again.
