'Long-priced second over 2m4f at Cork, stamina should come into play at this stiff track'
'Long-priced second over 2m4f at Cork, stamina should come into play at this stiff track'
'Let down by his jumping here 12 days ago, fair chance of reversing form with Red Striker'
'Poor run at Cork last time, held by Cheerful Chap on the basis of a previous Cork clash'
'Thurles maiden scorer after two seconds, this opening mark gives him a fighting chance'
'Good form in 2021, hard to be confident after failure when favourite at Tramore in January'
'Has deteriorated sharply, nothing like like his best form in two runs for this stable'
'Creditable third in a 25-runner contest at this venue with Verbal Sparring back in sixth'
'Modest hurdling strike-rate, 3lb out of the handicap here, others are much more appealing'
'Good run at Cheltenham in December, failed to run up to his best at Down Royal in January'
'Prominent when falling three out in a Cork event in which Cheerful Chap finished second'
'Has tended to struggle over hurdles since finishing second at this venue early last year'
'Almost five years since he showed his best form winning twice over hurdles'

'Has managed respectable handicap displays at Navan, needs to find a bit extra'
