5/6

Comment: Fourth behind the useful Willy De Houlle in a hurdle race in France last March; made immediate impact for Henry de Bromhead with Punchestown win in November; sights lowered after a creditable display in a Grade 2 Leopardstown contest won by Triumph contender; strong chance.

12/1

Comment: An 82-rated Flat handicapper (1m winner at Gowran last April); made bright start over hurdles when a staying-on third at Ballinrobe, similar level of form in Listowel winners' contest; let down by jumping late on when only fourth at Cork; bounced back from defeat when winning two days later at Punchestown; respected
