Perfect start over hurdles when landing a Galway maiden (16.6f) last August. Ran a belter on Flat when runner-up at the Curragh prior to never threatening over 2m at the same track last time when not ideally placed. Headgear removed and remains unexposed as a hurdler over this markedly longer trip.

Struggled in handicap hurdles last year. Hasn't fully convinced as a chaser, pulled up in two of four chase starts this year, but ran well when 5th of 25 in a flat handicap at Curragh (80/1) 41 days ago. Claims if he can build on that returning to hurdles in this conditions race.

Useful chaser last season and ran right up to that form back over hurdles this season. Disappointed in first time cheekpieces when well beaten at Galway (16/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces removed today and still makes plenty of appeal on the best of his form.

Won a chase 11 months ago but struggled since, merely hinted at a revival when fifth of 10 in handicap at Kilbeggan (33/1) 54 days ago. Interesting to see if the market suggests a full revival is in the offing.

REVEREND HUBERT is a useful dual-purpose performer on his day and ran right up to form when runner-up in a conditions hurdle at Cork last month. He can bounce back from a below-par Galway effort with cheekpieces now removed. Jabbar is 1-1 over hurdles and has solid recent Flat form, while Brazil arrives after running well on the Flat and has claims if he can build on that back in this sphere.
