Third in Grade 1 company at Aintree in the spring, HIDDENVALLEY LAKE ran right up to his best after 8 months off when runner-up in the Long Walk at Ascot, that despite the race not really going his way. Still low-mileage as an 8-y-o, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top, with veteran Asterion Forlonge and Buddy One fancied to pose the chief threats.

    Very smart chaser who ran well when second in Grade 1 Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown in May. Looked after when chance had gone when sixth of 8 to Home By The Lee in Christmas Hurdle on return at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago and better showing anticipated here.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler. 11/4, didn't need to improve to win 4-runner minor event hurdle at Clonmel (24f, soft) 51 days ago by 3½ lengths from Sandor Clegane. This demands another jolt of improvement upped in class.

    Smart hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, well-beaten third of 4 to Brewin'upastorm in Ballybin Hurdle (5/2) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy). Off 9 months. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

    Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, very good 19¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Gaelic Warrior in War of Attrition Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (23.8f, good to soft) in spring 2023. This looks a tough ask back from 21 months off.
