Lightly raced gelding who won a Punchestown maiden hurdle last term for Henry de Bromhead. Has moved yard twice since then and showed little for new stable when well behind at Kilbeggan recently. May have needed the run though and market might prove informative.
Just the one win over timber from five starts, coming in a Punchestown maiden over this trip in October. Well beaten on recent return at Kilbeggan (2m, yielding) and has plenty to prove even if improving for reappearance.
Fit from a spin on the Flat at Clonmel last month, hurdles form however is not overly inspiring in six runs and will need more on first attempt jumping in 232 days.
Last of 11 runners over this C&D in fourth hurdles run last time out, beaten more than 50L, big task on to turn that around despite dropping in handicaps on a workable mark.

Forecasts
Winsor Vixen (5/2), Coolfighter (11/4), Magnetic Force (7/2), Jefferson Davis (7/2), Zanjabeel (11/2), Danequest (7/1), Double Speak (14/1), Coherent (25/1)
The old boy in the field, Magnetic Force ran a fine race to be second at Wexford last time and isn’t to be underestimated in this line-up. Jefferson Davis was behind him then and can be in the mix again this time while Double Speak is one to note in the betting on reappearance. This might go the way of former C&D scorer COOLFIGTHER however, who won here off a mark 1lb higher in August and is capable on his day.
