Best recent effort came when runner-up in a 19 runner contest over 2m4f at Tipperary (good) on his penultimate outing. Disappointed subsequently and an interesting runner today.
Running well recently including when third over 3m at Limerick (good) last month. Races off the same mark today and has won off higher marks over fences in the past.
Beaten 10L into third in a handicap hurdle over an extended 3m at Down Royal (good) last time out. Over two years since he last won however and more needed to take this.
Beaten 6¼L when finishing third over an extended 3m at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) in a handicap chase last time. Won two decent novice chases in autumn 2016 and very well handicapped based on his recent chase form.
C&D winner here on good ground in a maiden hurdle last August. Had won on the Flat over 2m here the previous day but disappointing in the main since. Well held at Wexford last time and cheekpieces applied for the first time here.
Clear cut winner of a maiden hurdle over 3m on good ground at Cork on his penultimate outing. Well beaten on his return to handicap company last time and races off a 2lb lower mark here.
C&D winner on yielding ground in April but beaten twice since including last time out when 14L sixth of 20 at Cork (good) over 3m last time out. Races off a mark 4lb higher than for his victory here.
Pulled up on three of his four starts since returning from over a year off the track in January this year. Only win came on heavy ground and wears a tongue tie for the first time today.
Finished fourth the last twice most recently over 2m4f at Cork (good) in November last year. Races off the same mark here and has run well fresh in the past.
Debut bumper winner at Huntingdon over an extended 1m5f on good ground in October. Ran well so far for this yard despite being a beaten favourite on two occasions and making his second start in handicap company today.
Won just one of her 31 career starts with that success coming on good-to-firm ground at Wexford nearly three years ago. Below par of late and more needed if she's to take this.

Heron Heights (11/8), Theydon Park (4/1), Station Closed (5/1), Double Windsor (13/2), Glendine River (8/1), Rockey Storm (10/1), Dixie Highway (12/1), Face Value (14/1), Ned's Island (14/1), King Blue (14/1), For Freddie (16/1), War Of The Pennys (16/1), Posh Frock (16/1), Mysticaltou (16/1), Pleased As Punch (25/1), Mister First (25/1)
HERON HEIGHTS is well handicapped on his recent chase form having finished third off a mark of 137 at Punchestown last time and he can record a first hurdles success on his first hurdles run in over a year. Hat-trick seeking Station Closed carries a light weight here and is capable of finishing runner-up in this contest while Theydon Park remains relatively unexposed and can claim third.
