Looked progressive last year culminating in a handicap hurdle success at Cheltenham's November meeting; questions to answer now though having shown very little twice since; step back up in trip should help at least.

Hit the crossbar in two maiden hurdles before getting off the mark at Fairyhouse in December; beaten 10l in the Fred Winter since and her mark may be stiff enough for now.

Career best when landing a beginners' at Downpatrick last month; too keen at Fairyhouse last week but looks well treated from his reduced hurdle mark back in handicap company and has to be high on the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Took a step forward when switched to handicaps earlier this season, hitting the crossbar at Naas and Navan before landing a maiden hurdle at Tramore by a wide margin 17 days ago; that wasn't a strong race but she's unexposed and clearly in form.

Novice hurdle winner at Exeter before Christmas and fairly consistent in three runs since; would have finished closer without a late mistake in a warm race at Wetherby last month and warrants respect having just his sixth hurdle start.

Spotlight :
Point winner who got off the mark under rules with a maiden hurdle success at Wexford last summer; has continued to progress in handicaps, winning over C&D in October and bounced back from a lesser run back at this venue to land a 3m Leopardstown handicap hurdle last month; beaten favourite in a Wexford novice hurdle since but she's the type to bounce straight back.

Gained a fourth win with a 7l Carlisle success when last seen in February and that form has been boosted by the runner-up and fourth winning since; only 3lb higher here and conditions in his favour again.

Spotlight :
All four wins with good in the going description and gained his fourth success at Newbury earlier in the campaign; however, he was tailed off at Wetherby on his penultimate start and was well held in the Pertemps since; probably vulnerable to better treated rivals in a race like this.

Was still involved when falling in this race last year on the back of a lengthy absence; 0-9 but he's consistent sort and wasn't beaten far in a maiden hurdle at Navan before a 14l defeat when third of 16 at Fairyhouse earlier this month; not much went right for him the last day and one to consider back in handicap company.

Appreciated getting back on a sound surface when recording a career best at Naas earlier this month; 7lb higher and his Naas form hasn't been done any favours so may need another career best.
