Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round.
Both wins have come when ridden from the front, a Galway maiden hurdle and a Thurles handicap off 124; has come up well short in both previous runs in graded company; now tried in a hood; others preferred.
One of three for yard; smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; didn't get home up the Cheltenham hill in the Supreme last time; this track should suit better; preferred by Kennedy and big chance if cutting out the jumping errors.
One of three for yard; French recruit; won on second start for Daniela Mele at Dieppe (2m1f, soft); last of three over C&D in Grade 2 on Irish debut; never involved when 100-1 in the Supreme last time; major improvement required.
One of three for yard; bright start over timber, winning a C&D maiden (heavy) and beating Blake by a head in the Royal Bond; limitations seemingly exposed in Grade 1 company on his next three runs but back on song with a Grade 2 win at Fairyhouse last time (left in lead after Blake fell at the last); wouldn't want the track to dry out too much.
