Resuming today after 16 months. Finished off last preparation 8 of 21 runners at Naas 4yo MHDLE January 29 2023. Holds claims on return.

Recent flat form has been hot and cold. Saluted two starts back at Dundalk All Weather over 3218m then missed the placings last time, beaten 15 lengths over 2414m at Lingfield All Weather. Mixing his form - happy to overlook.

Went for a spell after just two runs last campaign, winding up with a fifth in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Punchestown five months ago. Well placed to return a winner.

Returns from a spell. Only appeared once when last in work and finished third in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal, beaten 2.75 lengths. Expected to go very well.

Back in form with a solid third in a novice hurdle (3922m) at Naas 8 days back following an unplaced effort in a hurdle (4023m) at Gowran Park. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Grade 2 placegetter. Finished a modest fifth in a steeplechase (3419m) at Navan last start. That came after he fell two runs back. Right in the mix if he is anywhere near right.

Showed some progress to close last campaign, beaten 4 lengths into third in a hurdle (4791m) at Musselburgh. Strong contender.

Didn't show a great deal when resuming in a hurdle (3118m) at Naas. Fitter for the run but prefer to see again.

Has not appeared since he failed to finish the race in a hurdle (4023m) at Leopardstown four months ago. Looking elsewhere.

Returns from a spell of five months. Concluded last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3319m) at Thurles, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to go very well.

Yet to fill the placings in five career runs to date, most recently battling home into 15th at Naas. Looking elsewhere for the winner at this stage.

He has been easily accounted for in each of his 11 career starts. The drop in distance may help but not doing enough to be considered.

Back from a break of five months. Wound up last campaign with a 15th in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Navan, beaten 90 lengths. Might need this run.

Back from a two months spell following finishing 14th over 3218m at Punchestown at only run of last campaign. Rates well here and is not to be underestimated here fresh.

Back from a break of four months. Wound up last campaign with a ninth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Thurles, beaten 47 lengths. Capable and looks a top-three chance.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Navan then wound up in eighth most recently in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal. Can do a lot better.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown, finishing sixth when partnered by today's jockey R A Doyle. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (4123m) at Thurles then wound up in 11th most recently in a hurdle (3218m) at Naas. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Resumes after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign with a 18th in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal, beaten 61 lengths. Capable and looks a top-three chance.
