Showed jumping is his game, despite a tendency to jump left, when bolting up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Clonmel; step up in trip should suit well and is Jack Kennedy's preference; the one to beat.

By a top sire and made 150,000euros as a 3yo; that price increased to 400,000GBP after he won a point' at Dromahane last year; third home that day has won a bumper since and, while it has taken time to get him to the track, should be a major player. |

Going the right way and nothing wrong with a staying second in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month; more needed here but should acquit herself well.

Only fourth when warm favourite for hurdling debut on Boxing Day but returned from break with easy win at Downpatrick (2m3f, yielding to soft) in June and is open to significant further progress. |

Looks like one that can take advantage of his second season novice status; the season started ideally when he won an admittedly egg-and-spoon maiden hurdle at Galway; staying type that acts on testing ground and not one to underestimate here.

Very green when winning a good ground maiden hurdle at Down Royal in September; beaten in novice company twice since at Cork but looked more straightforward; place prospects here.

Won a Down Royal maiden hurdle in September and two fine runs in novice company since; well-held in a Grade 3 over 2m4f here last time and will have to improve upon that even dropped in class. |

Down Royal maiden winner over 2m4f was 4.5l behind Desert Heather and Solitary Man over C&D last time; better off at the weights with the winner but needs more in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won a Clonmel claiming hurdle for Declan Queally; decent efforts last twice, including a conditions contest at Fairyhouse latest; can travel well in his races but no chance in this company giving weight all round.

Out of his depth in a Grade 3 last term but consistent previously; best form has come in testing conditions so probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out at all. |
