Doubled hurdles tally in fine style at Kilbeggan (17f) in May but not in anything like the same form when pulled up next 3 starts for Joseph O'Brien during the summer. Didn't do any better on stable debut but seemed to show a lot more at this venue 19.7f last month. Task is to now build on that.

Multiple-C&D winner who went close to adding to his tally on his reappearance in October. Hasn't reproduced that form since but he's now down to an attractive mark if he can revive.

Took well to chasing for his current yard last season, winning twice, and added a hurdles success to his tally at Sandown in January. Turned in a laboured effort back that that venue 3 weeks ago but cheekpieces may help him travel with a bit more zest.

Can boast a good Wetherby record, finding only one too good back here on reappearance in October. Disappointing both starts since 4 months apart but another who could easily revive from a falling mark back at this venue.

Useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but absent for nearly 2 years. Understandably given a considerate ride on stable debut at Cheltenham in January but unable to build on that here the following month.

Winning pointer who built on hurdling debut promise when quickening clear from a previous winner at Kelso in February. Didn't need to improve to land the odds under a penalty at Newcastle and there should be plenty more to come from him in handicaps.

Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington last season but long way below that level for this yard so big leap of faith required, even from lower hurdles mark.

Useful hurdler who ended time with Joseph O'Brien in good heart, successful in 19.3f beginners chase at Downpatrick in August. Hasn't made much of an impact for present connections, though.

Showed he retains all his ability on third outing back from a long absence when winning C&D handicap on Boxing Day. That form worked out well and he had no trouble following up from a 3 lb higher mark at Kelso and better than the result back at that venue a month ago.

Took advantage of reduced mark to score here (19.7f) last month. Ran at least as well in defeat when third in a similar event next time and way he shaped at Fontwell latest suggests he's well worth another go at 2m.
