Flat winner is 0-12 over hurdles; best form in both codes has come on much better ground and remains opposable.

Nowhere near as good hurdling as on the Flat; tried over various trips, pick being Fairyhouse third over 2m4f under today's rider, didn't appear to stay 2m7f last time; drop in trip should suit.

Has run well in opening handicaps in testing conditions at Tramore and Gowran last month over shorter; 5lb rise for latest not ideal but is going the right way.

Very lightly raced 8yo; won 2m5f Limerick handicap in late 2022 (heavy) and touched off at Cork a year later on return; two December comeback runs after further absence leave him with plenty to find.

Touched off in 2m Tipperary maiden in November (soft) and didn't run badly on latest of two handicap efforts since despite not looking that happy on better ground; return to soft ground ans step up in trip should suit so definite contender.

Easy enough to back on handicap debut at Limerick over Christmas, tame enough effort; much more needed.

Lost form since Naas win (2m, soft) just over a year ago off 86; suspect stayer and hard to be confident in.

Opening handicap efforts have been poor, jumping letting her down last time; cheekpieces tried.

Maiden form hasn't been progressive; 4yo upped in trip here for handicap debut with cheekpieces tried and potential improver.

Won twice in point-to-points last season; modest hurdles form overall though and recent Tramore run not that encouraging although drop in trip could suit.

Long-priced second over 2m4f on heavy at Gowran last season (off 88) but nothing approaching that sort of form since; cheekpieces tried.

11-race maiden but penultimate Punchestown run (2m, soft) would give her a sneak here; needs to jump better than at Gowran last time.
