12yo rolled back the years with a 16l win over C&D at Christmas (yielding to soft); tame hurdles effort following month but still respected back chasing although nearly back to career-high mark now.

Sole chase win came off this mark in Galway handicap over this trip in October 2022 in testing conditions; okay run at Fairyhouse in early December but good bit more needed.

Lake Chad
Was winning over fences for the third time this campaign when landing 2m Thurles handicap last month off top-weight; effective up to 2m6f and likes decent ground; up 5lb could well take a fair bit of beating.

Three chase wins include over C&D and at Kilbeggan back in 2021; winless since, bit out of depth the last twice when pulled up in late 2023; cheekpieces tried on comeback here and watching brief advisable.

Krabat
A victim of his own consistency over hurdles and ran another creditable race when second to an improver at Clonmel recently (2m3f, heavy); improved ground conditions possibly not ideal on first chase start since second over 2m at Gowran in November 2023.

Soloman Lane
Both chase wins came on heavy including over this trip at Leopardstown a year ago; good recent form, would have gone closer but for mistake last when clear second over 2m4f at Gowran last month in first-time tongue-tie; not sure this quicker ground is what he wants but big player if handling it.

Decimation
Formerly useful 139-rated hurdler for Gigginstown; 0-5 chasing including chasing home clear winner over 3m here last September off this mark; has run well fresh so respected but has to jump a lot better than at Punchestown last time.
