Off the mark at the second time of asking over hurdles when landing a Gowran Park maiden over 2m4f last month. Entries in the Albert Bartlett and Ballymore novices at the Cheltenham festival.
Appears to be progressing nicely following up on a win in a Galway bumper by landing the spoils in a Down Royal 2m1f maiden hurdle on St Stephens day. Entitled to have designs on more prize money.
Running with plenty of credit in a number of starts over hurdles at Grade 2 and Grade 3 level since December. Not to be taken lightly.
Followed up his win in a Carlisle bumper in November with a pleasing second of 14 beaten 9L on hurdling debut at Tramore before getting off the mark at the second attempt to win a Thurles 2m maiden last month. Shouldn't be underestimated.
Dream Well gelding out of a French bred mare. Needs a vast amount of improvement based on a dismal debut effort in a Leopardstown 2m4f maiden on soft ground in December.
Well held and no impression in a couple of hurdling starts so far at this venue in December followed by a 31L reversal at Gowran Park last month. Possibly best watched on this occasion.
Has proceeded to complete just one of his four starts over hurdles. Pulled up when tailed off on latest start at Gowran Park last month and needs a vast improvement to figure in this company.
Lightly raced maiden of five starts over hurdles. Well beaten and no signs of improvement on latest start at Tramore when last seen in October.
Weakening when falling two out in a Navan 2m4f maiden hurdle on soft ground in December before a much likable effort to finish third of 10 beaten 10L in a Thurles maiden over 2m last month. Could be a progressive type.

Aione (10/11), Russian Diamond (13/8), Alpine Cobra (11/2), Arcadian Sunrise (10/1), Wingin A Prayer (16/1), The Echo Boy (33/1), Wherethewindsblow (50/1), Chief Of Police (50/1), Sonnenkonig (66/1), Soi Cowboy (66/1)
The Willie Mullins-trained AIONE can progress from a facile win over hurdles at Gowran Park last month over 2m4f to win here. The seven-year-old can hold off the challenge of potential dangers in the shape of Alpine Cobra, winner of a Punchestown maiden in November, the John Queally-trained Arcadian Sunrise, gutsy winner at Thurles last month and Russian Diamond who comes here on a hat-trick of wins following success in a Galway bumper before a win in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in December.
