Progressed well in her first season chasing last term when tackling 2m handicaps, late mistakes costing her dear when runner-up in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham, likely winner when left clear at the last at Fairyhouse and better again on better ground at Punchestown festival, quickening well off a good pace; nicely treated by the race conditions here receiving weight .

Late mistakes cost her dear when runner-up in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham but she was pretty good in that department when making amends at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding/soft); was left clear that day when Whiskeywealth crashed out late on but would probably have won anyway; 7lb rise not the end of the world. |

Smart juvenile hurdler and after winning his first start over fences, was well beaten in a couple of Grade 1s and landed slowly-run Grade 3 at Gowran (2m) when switched back to hurdles; well below best final two starts hurdling and back chasing on seasonal return facing stiff task against some more seasoned rivals.

Took her a long time to win a beginners' chase at Sligo in September, too strong a pace at Limerick since and folded; has it all to do in this grade.

Took her a long time to win a beginners' chase which she finally managed to do on easy ground at Sligo last month; jumped well then having had a few issues in that department in the past; much stiffer task here on second handicap start. |

Very useful staying handicapper as shown by third in Paddy Power at Leopardstown last season and fifth in Irish Grand National; tough task at weights on last month's seasonal return at Punchestown and marked drop in trip could see him struggle.

Knows what big-field handicaps are all about, having won a Pertemps Qualifier last season and going close in the 28-runner Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown this Christmas; fell early back there a month ago; into unknown territory beyond 3m and, while he's won on soft ground, at this trip he wouldn't want it getting too wet. |

Top-class novice hurdler in 2022 made impressive chasing debut at Gowran last season (2m, heavy) before contesting Grade 1 contests, notably clear second to a stablemate Fairyhouse (2m4f); let down by jumping both other attempts, latter occasion when pulled up (cut right-hind leg) at Punchestown (3m); back in trip here for seasonal return with a bit to prove.

Fifth runner for yard; high-class performer won the Cheltenham Champion Bumper plus two Grade 1 novice hurdles last season; won a Gowran novice chase over 2m on belated return this term; jumped slowly early on but warmed to his task in the Brown Advisory Novices Chase (3m) at Cheltenham before weakening quickly from 2 out; this trip is more suitable and a major player. |
