Was running good races in graded company when last seen over hurdles more than a year ago, comes here after a Flat campaign and has to be respected for champion trainer.
Very smart two-miler last season, first run now since finishing fourth in Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham, should be a big player.
Long time since he's run over hurdles, but was decent when last seen. Since been running in high-class company over fences but still has it all on to beat some of these rivals.
An outstanding staying chaser, for whom this race is surely going to be little more than a chance to blow away some cobwebs before taking aim at some key spring targets.
Much-anticipated return here for the 2014 Champion Hurdler, with the vibes being positive on his well-being. Still just nine-years-old, his primary aims this term are over longer trips but he is still a big threat if retaining his ability.
Came back from near three-year layoff at Punchestown on New Year's Eve to be third over 2m4f, is lightly raced over hurdles and interesting to see how he does in this now dropped to the minimum trip.

Forecasts
Jezki (11/8), Tombstone (11/4), Alisier D'irlande (11/2), Renneti (13/2), Sure Reef (10/1), Carlingford Lough (33/1)
On his best form, JEZKI would be far too strong for these rivals. Jessica Harrington's charge comes here off a long layoff and must prove he retains his desire for racing and the speed for a two-mile test. The vibes have been good and he would win this race if anything near his best. Tombstone was a fair sort as a novice last term, going close at the highest level twice and finishing a good fourth in the Supreme, kept to hurdles now, he is the chief danger. Renneti is respected after a solid campaign on the Flat whilst stablemate Sure Reef is one to monitor on his second start back a long, long layoff.
