J: Simon Torrens

T: John C McConnell

Grade 2 course novice hurdle winner for Ronan McNally in 2021 after showing remarkable improvement from a basement rating; opened his chase account at the sixth attempt when readily landing 2m4f beginner's contest at Down Royal; more progress feasible.

Form & Verdict
A 143-rated hurdler who made a successful start over fences at Down Royal (2m3f, good); was entitled to win that easier than he did but there's no knocking a winning start; won't mind this softer ground.

Form & Verdict
Winning hurdler who made it fourth-time lucky over fences with a comfortable success at Cork (2m, soft to heavy) but was then only fourth at Tipperary; on that winning form he's a contender.

J: Philip Byrnes

T: C Byrnes

Won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at this track in 2021; did really well to get off the mark over fences on fourth chase start at Cork (2m) back from a 238 day break; this trip will suit better and he should have improved from that comeback.

Runner-up in valuable handicap hurdles in 2021 but lightly raced in the meantime and has looked cold since returning from an absence; chase debut.

J: Daniel King

T: Denis Gerard Hogan

Last win came over this trip at Sligo back in August 2020 but runner-up in big field handicaps at the Galway and Listowel festivals in 2021; little seen of since, recent Thurles comeback run should have brought him on but wants better ground.
