Looked like he could be a top prospect back in his bumper days but didn't kick on over timber last season and didn't really give the impression he would improve for a fence; off 224 days.

Down Royal maiden winner was twice beaten favourite at Navan subsequently, including by Hunters Yarn; too keen and didn't get home in 2m5f Ballymore on latest and back in trip here. |

Second to Facile Vega in Champion Bumper here a year ago and collected Down Royal maiden (2m6f, soft) with minimal fuss on hurdling debut in November; however, could not justify 2-7 odds in Navan Grade 3 later that month, and was again a beaten favourite when fourth in Listed race in February; tongue-tie fitted for first time; has a point to prove. |

Point and bumper winner; runner-up in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown in February to A Dream To Share and behind that rival again when runner-up in the Champion Bumper; interesting that he goes straight over fences but his half-brother was a useful enough French chaser and he has a point win from 2022 too; he's a fascinating contender on his return; should handle conditions; off 249 days.

Runner-up off a mark of 125 in a handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival when last seen; will probably need to improve for chasing to have a say in this and Blackmore prefers Spirit Of Legend.

Point' winner in 2019 went missing for a long time but ran a fine race on rules debut in a Punchestown maiden hurdle (2m); stepped up on that when second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Nick Rockett over 2m3f at Naas since; the one to beat on that form. |

Maiden hurdle winner at this meeting last year; only narrowly denied at Leopardstown over Christmas but lost his way a little subsequently; interesting that he's the yard's first-string over Lets Go Champ and he has a squeak.

Made a winning hurdles debut at Navan and ran well in Leopardstown handicap next time (both 2m4f); only sixth at Fairyhouse (returned to 2m4f) most recently but that race panned out unfavourably as he came from a difficult position; may do better still. |

Useful novice hurdler who was runner-up over 2m6f here when last seen; dam is a half-sister to Rule The World so no major suprise if she improves for a fence; brings the joint-highest RPR over timber into this (140).

Fell when going well in a hat-trick bid at Navan in January; only beaten half a length in a novice hurdle at Navan last time and shaped like the longer trip should be fine; others may lurk on better marks though. |
