WORKAHEAD found the Champion Hurdle too hot to handle back in March but very much appeals as the type to make a significant impact as a chaser (winner only start in points) and he's selected to make it first time lucky in this sphere. Supersundae was dominant when scoring over fences at Kilbeggan recently and is feared, as is another last-time-out winner, Wild Bill Hickok.

7-y-o who looked back in the sort of form which saw him placed in a Grade 1 hurdle when off the mark at third attempt over fences at Kilbeggan (2¾m) 3 weeks ago, hard held. Firmly expected to hold his own back in this more competitive scenario.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKilbeggan2m 6f 70yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Chase1/12Naas2m 4fSoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase3/7Punchestown2m 6f 205yHeavyChase5/7Cheltenham2m 5fGood to SoftHurdlepu/11Leopardstown2m 6f 53ySoftHurdlepu/12- 4WorkaheadJ: D.

Has just a maiden hurdle win to his name (albeit beat a smart one) and posted easily his best effort since when second in a Grade 3 in February. Flying too high in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham next time but this former point winner remains a good prospect now tackling larger obstacles.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 87yGood to SoftHurdle9/9Gowran Park2mHeavyHurdle2/7Naas1m 7f 190yHeavyHurdle4/7Cheltenham2m 87yGood to SoftHurdle11/11Leopardstown2mYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle1/17- 6Wild Bill HickokJ: E.

Didn't kick on as expected over hurdles but better signs on stable debut at Aintree in April and he built on that when making a successful C&D chase debut 9 days ago. Did that well and he ought to go on in this sphere in receipt of his handy weight-for age allowance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWexford2mGood to YieldingChase1/10Aintree2m 103yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle11/21Compiegne2m 198ySoftHurdlepu/7Auteuil2m 1f 197yVery softHurdle7/9Auteuil2m 1f 197yVery softHurdle7/7- 3Reiki RevolutionJ: Keith DonoghueT: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland2321P4-Age 618/118/116/1

Bumper winner who made it sixth time lucky over hurdles starting out for present yard at Punchestown in October. Had testing ground as an excuse at Navan/Thurles thereafter but this looks a tough enough chase introduction back from 5 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThurles2m 6f 108yYielding to SoftHurdle4/9Navan2m 5fHeavyHurdlepu/19Punchestown2m 4fGood to YieldingHurdle1/14Kilbeggan3m 1fGood to YieldingHurdle2/6Kilbeggan3m 100yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Hurdle3/13- 5Chosen ShantJ: Phillip EnrightT: Aengus King, Ireland40556-7Age 1080/180/1100/1

Won completed start in points and reached a fairly useful level as a novice hurdler, landing a Gowran maiden (2m) in October. Similar form in defeat switched to handicaps thereafter and he appeals as the type to make his mark over larger obstacles.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLimerick2m 5f 100ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle5/8Leopardstown2m 4f 103yGood to YieldingHurdle5/9Navan2m 50ySoft to Heavy (Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Galway2m 4f 156yGood to YieldingHurdle2/6Gowran Park2m 80ySoftHurdle1/12
