Comment: Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences but some good runs including over C&D back in April; was poor last time at Galway but has a chance if back to the form he showed when second there penultimate; cheekpieces may help.

Comment: Maiden hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Leopardstown in March; was going ok in front when unseating over C&D in April; was beaten when fell on return at Gowran but can improve; has to jump better but a big player if doing so.

Comment: Has shown a liking for a thorough test of stamina with a second to stablemate Fortunedefortunata in the National Trial at Punchestown (3m3f, soft) in February and a third to Haiti Couleurs in the National Hunt Chase; never a threat in the Irish Grand National; needs to find form again after failing to feature in the Munster National and the Troytown.

Comment: Veteran stayer won this event last year, backing up a Down Royal success; hard to be confident about a repeat of last year's effort following a poor prep-run this time; tailed off in the Cork National won by Lonesome Boatman; same 7lb claimer as last year, and only one pound higher, so should not be ruled out given his established stamina.

Comment: Top novice hurdler the season before last with three Grade 1 wins; 2-5 over fences last season, no match for Sir Gino at Kempton; won Grade 1 at the DRF quite readily despite having raced keenly; flopped in the Brown Advisory won by stablemate Lecky Watson; more like it when second at Punchestown; every chance he can rebuild his reputation in this sphere.
