Comment Solid 137-rated hurdler has attained a similar rating after three attempts chasing, most recently on good ground at Thurles when second (1.5l ahead of What's Up Darling) having forced it; major player although could well be taken on for the lead here.

Comment Now 0-5 chasing but good second at Leopardstown and only 1.5l behind Westport Cove at Thurles on good ground in February; brought down in Grade 2 Cheltenham Novices' Handicap on latest; should be thereabouts but others possibly more progressive.

Comment Dual Grade 2 hurdles winner in his pomp back in 2020/21; missed two full seasons before returning in October 2023 and hasn't looked the same horse, though he did win over this trip at Punchestown in October and okay run at Leopardstown latest; limited opportunities over fences, placed twice in decent Thurles beginners and being challenged when last-fence faller at Leopardstown over a year ago.

Comment 126-rated hurdler won Listowel maiden on this sort of ground; favourite, every chance of making successful start to chasing career at Leopardstown last month although marginally going second-best when faller at the last, having jumped well to that point (Lisnagar Fortune the beneficiary for second); major player if that fall hasn't affected his confidence.

Comment Bumper win came on this sort of ground, hurdles winner on soft; has looked anything but a natural jumper in three attempts chasing since returning in January although did well in the circumstances to stay on late for second at Leopardstown last time (Aeros Luck faller at the last); good bit to find with Aeros Luck on that form and jumping doesn't inspire confidence; yard have a stronger contender in Westport Cove.

Comment 122-rated hurdler, two wins include 2m4f handicap at last year's Punchestown festival; down the field in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham recently and will need to improve for switch to fences to play a role here.
