Point winner has been well beaten in two maiden hurdles and can only be watched for the time being; cheekpieces on.

Tailed off in Down Royal maiden hurdle on debut early last year; fair fifth of seven when set a stiff task behind Roc Dino here (2m6f) on return from an absence two weeks ago; could improve.

Well beaten in a point and two maiden hurdles so best wait for handicaps.

Top yard; point winner rated 117 after five runs over timber; placed in all five and was a 7.25l third of 17 in a Clonmel maiden hurdle latest (2m4f, yielding); has been expensive to follow but very disappointing if he can't win this.

Placed in hurdle races in France and this country but best effort when beaten 10l in the Martin Pipe Hurdle at Cheltenham; all those runs came on softer ground but if he handles this surface then is the one to beat.

Has been poor in two maiden hurdles in testing ground and can't be fancied on those efforts.

Was badly regressive on the Flat last autumn and can only be watched on hurdles debut.

Chamber Verdict

Balanced lens

Roc Dino

Live signal

Roc Dino owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (69) and market confidence (99). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
