Stepped forward from recent run when scoring decisively at Newcastle (2½m) in April. Wasn't in the same form when fifth of 9 at Aintree next time, but he's had a breathing operation since ahead of this drop back in trip.

Cossack Chach (G)
[PT]
Fairly useful hurdles winner for Joseph O'Brien who also won a Sligo maiden on third chase start in 2024. After 14-month absence, offered little on sole outing for James Moffatt in handicap chase at Haydock in November. Off again since (ha…

With blinkers reapplied back over hurdles, returned to winning ways in 6-runner handicap at this venue 15 days ago. Can remain competitive quickly back chasing, successful in this race last year off his current mark.
