Prolific hurdler at this venue earlier in his career. Losing run stretches back to 2020 though and he's out of the weights on this very belated chase debut.

Back to form in re-fitted blinkers, gaining a belated first success over fences over 20f at Newcastle in November. Coped really well with drop to 2m when going in again after another breathing op back at that venue 3 weeks ago and the obvious threat to Tommy's Oscar.

Tommy's Oscar (Ire)

Really smart hurdler who narrowly prevailed in a match on chase debut over C&D in October. Runner-up next 2 starts over the larger obstacles but looked much more polished when a decisive winner of a Grade 2 at Doncaster in January. Keeps rivals out of the weights back in a handicap. The one to beat.
