0-10 over hurdles but wasn't disgraced in Haydock Grade 2 (24.5f, good to soft) on latest and was in fine form prior to that; sets a good standard and won't be far off.

Coup D'etat
Stayed on well to finish runner-up to a long odds-on favourite in 2m3f Cork bumper on good in October; drop in trip wasn't ideal at Navan; likely outsider could go well back up in trip on hurdles bow.

Encouraging effort on belated debut when fourth of 15 at Naas (18.5f, soft) last month; carries the well-known colours of Malcolm Denmark and Darragh O'Keeffe a positive booking.

St Cuthbert's Cave
Bumper winner for Rose Dobbin in 2023; three good efforts in maiden hurdles this season, including when beaten a neck at Clonmel (2m3f, heavy) last month; nearly all of his form is in testing conditions but he'll take all the beating if he handles better ground.
