Form & Verdict

Decent hurdler (rated 134) and made a winning chasing debut at Wexford last time off a break; should have improved for that and is capable of a decent run.

Form & Verdict

Classy hurdler won a valuable Leopardstown handicap in February; improved from his chasing debut to win easily at Kilbeggan and doubled his chase score at Wexford last time, albeit not as impressively; looks a major player.

Form & Verdict

Decent hurdler didn't fulfill his promise in that sphere but has won twice over fences at Wexford (2m/2m4f); faces much tougher opposition today but still has to be respected; this trip is fine.
