Favorite

Twice a beaten favourite in handicap hurdles in December before rectifying matters in a 2m3f contest at Limerick (soft to heavy); sent straight into handicap company and bolted up by 22l next time here (2m3f, soft); was running creditably before falling at two out at Down Royal last time; reverts to hurdles now off a 15lb lower mark but he was unable to win off lower hurdle marks in the past.

Jockey: Philip ByrnesTrainer: C Byrnes

Johnny Cakes

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f here on heavy ground in February last year; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust.

Second reserve; triple-figure odds for all four maiden hurdle runs, the best of which came at Thurles (2m, heavy) last time when 28l behind the winner El Cairos.
