Top-class novice hurdler has reportedly schooled well; should take plenty of beating

Smart 2m4f novice hurdler last season; big player here if taking to fences

Jumped right before unseating on recent chase debut; caution advised in a stronger race

Decent hurdler last season; yard have a more obvious contender in Romeo Coolio

Decent hurdler but Tipperary chase debut back in May was underwhelming; big ask on return

Okay chase debut run at Galway recently but this an altogether stiffer task

Out of form and hard to have much confidence in on second attempt chasing
