Pulled up last week when reportedly lame but won a beginners' at Wexford in August before a third in a novice chase later that month; still early days over fences so may get right back on track here; back up in trip.

Form & Verdict

Listed winner over timber last season and encouraging start to life over fences this summer with a fifth at Wexford before landing a mares' beginners' at Tramore; that form has been boosted by the runner-up going in since and she looks like a major player with further progress possible.

Tailed off at Navan in January and pulled up when last seen at Punchestown in May on his only other start this year; major player on last year's form but might need this after another 151 days off.

Three-time winner over hurdles and two solid runs in beginners' chases, including behind Klassical Dream at Thurles, with today's rival Gold Bullion almost 10l away in third; poor effort at Navan in January can probably be forgiven due to heavy ground.

T: Darren Collins

0-13 under Rules and is 0-3 over fences (rated 107) but has shown enough to suggest he can win a race; however, his best form has come on softer ground than he is likely to get here and he needs to jump better than he has done on his last two chase starts to win this.

Form & Verdict

Seemed to relish a step back up in trip when landing a beginners' a fortnight ago; progressive for this yard a couple of seasons ago before a spell elsewhere; should go well and versatile with regards to conditions.
