This shorter trip should play to the strengths of LAST ROUND and he's likely to be hard to beat for Gordon Elliott. Multiple point winner Gale Force Jet may give him most to do ahead of Cold Old Fire.

Point winner who shaped with promise in a couple of hunters around 3m last month. This slightly shorter trip should suit even better and he's hard to beat with further improvement likely.

Beat a pair of quite useful hurdlers when winning a maiden point in March 2023 but not seen again until pulled up last month. Makes his hunter debut with a bit to prove.

This veteran is exposed as a modest maiden under Rules. Ran well for fourth in a Thurles hunter last month but surely vulnerable for win purposes again.
