Top-class chaser SPILLANE'S TOWER is potentially thrown-in back over hurdles and he gets the vote. A case can be made for plenty of the others, Sommesky looks a very interesting handicap debutant for his bang in-form stable, while Backtonormal and Positive Thinker make plenty of appeal from their lower hurdle marks. Letos is another to note stepping back up in trip on handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Top-class chaser shaped better than he had in the King George when finishing a well held second behind Galopin des Champs in the Punchestown Gold Cup in April. Races off a 33 lb lower mark over hurdles and looks potentially thrown-in on his return.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful maiden has finished runner-up in back-to-back maiden hurdles, finishing ahead of a next time out winner at Fairyhouse in April but proving vulnerable to an improver on return at Tipperary (16.5f) last month. Could progress stepping back up in distance on handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Confirmed hurdling debut promise when scoring at Punchestown in June and got back on the up when runner-up on handicap debut at Listowel in September. That form is working out well and he merits plenty of respect for top yard.

    Verdict
    Winner on handicap debut at Listowel in September 2024 and was again well backed with cheekpieces on for first time when third at this track on final run last season. As good as ever when narrowly denied on comeback at Galway (2m) last month and should remain competitive back up in trip.

    Beat a useful type to get off the mark over hurdles at Limerick in December. Well held in graded company subsequently but could have more to offer sent handicapping for yard in terrific form. One to be interested in.

    Verdict
    Winner of a valuable Punchestown novice on stable debut last year and better than ever when making a successful handicap debut over fences at Leopardstown in February, travelled well and had plenty in hand. One to consider racing off 8 lb lower hurdle mark.

    Verdict
    Has gone well fresh in the past and made a winning return on first outing since leaving Philip Fenton when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Still 5 lb lower than his chase mark and could hold his own in a better race.

    Verdict
    Useful in bumpers and made the most of a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles at Downpatrick (21.8f) last month. Took a keen hold and possibly found the emphasis too much on stamina when well held in a 3m Cheltenham novice last time. May do better back down in trip on handicap bow.

    Verdict
    Clear second behind a progressive winner at Fairyhouse on final start of last season and despite having gone well fresh in the past, he was beating a retreat when unseating (20/1) on return at Gowran last month. Worth a check to see if market expects him to be closer to form here.

    Fairly useful novice hurdler was in the process of showing his first form over fences when falling in a novice chase at this course (20.1f, soft) in March. Returns to hurdles in first-time tongue tie and could be competitive if all is well on reappearance.
