Maiden point-to-point winner in October 2015 but failed to place in ten starts under rules since and others have a more obvious chance here.
Disappointing in two starts since finishing 3L fourth of 13 over 2m at Tramore (good) in June. Returns from a break here and one to note in this contest.
Broke his maiden in point-to-points when winning at Kinsale (yielding) in early June and had recorded a couple of placed efforts prior to that. Wears a tongue tie for his hurdles debut.
Well held in six efforts over hurdles prior to a spell in point-to=points. Most recent effort that in that sphere came when third of 14 at Kinsale in June and wears a tongue tie on his return to rules for a leading stable today.
Shown a fair level of ability in four starts under rules so far. Most recent effort came when fifth of ten at Killarney (2m4f, good) last month and one for the shortlist in this contest.
Failed to complete in his last four starts in point-to-points and well held seventh of nine on his return to rules racing at Downpatrick (good) over 2m3f earlier this month.
Ran well twice over hurdles prior to finishing fourth in a bumper here on good ground last time out. Beaten just 6L on the second of her maiden hurdle outings and one to note in this contest.
Signs of ability on bumper debut at Tramore (good) in June last year but disappointing since and well held on hurdles and yard debut on her return from over 12 months off earlier this month.

MOVINGSWIFTLYALONG has put in a couple of decent efforts in maiden hurdles so far and can make a winning return to obstacles following a bumper outing last time. Shane Ryder's charge finished fourth behind a subsequent winner last time out and is taken to get the better of Chapelier who ran well in a couple of maiden contests in the spring. Full Batten was running well in maiden point-to-point events when last in action and can claim third on his debut for this stable.
