Failed to fire on the Flat last time but had previously returned to hurdles (dual winner) with a respectable fifth of 21 in a Listed handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding); off the same mark here in a less demanding race.
Comment
Good fifth at Punchestown in April; off the same mark here in a less demanding race
Quotes
"I hope Putapoundinthejar will keep improving. He should make a chaser in time, he's a typical Walk In The Park, he can be a little on edge but as soon he's cantering he's very straightforward. He wants better ground and could head to Galway - Tony Martin, trainer, speaking to Racing TV"
2025-05-01 - Punchestown"It has just taken a while for everything to fall into place. Putapoundinthejar is still relatively young and immature. Today's race turned into a great opportunity with Willie's not there. We always thought he was a nice young horse and we still do - Tony Martin, trainer."

Won a novice at Killarney in October (2m1f, yielding) and probably posted a similar effort when third in a handicap there last month; solid chance off an untouched mark.

French hurdle winner on very soft in October 2024; back from an absence to finish second in a Wexford handicap (soft) and departed too far out to tell what might have happened when 6-1 at Killarney; remains unexposed.

Lightly raced; second at Wexford before departing midrace when 6-1 at Killarney

Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race.
Comment
A revived second of 14 at Wexford but no question that this is a better race

Lightly raced since winning a Listed handicap here in September 2024; back from an absence, he was a much bigger price than Putapoundinthejar at Punchestown in April and duly finished well behind the Martin horse.

Course winner but well beaten at Punchestown on return from a long absence

Quotes
"To be fair to Tom [O'Connor], the plan was to go down the inside and keep saving. The form of Fast Felix's maiden hurdle win was stood up yesterday. The form of his Killarney win was good enough to win this and Tom gave him a peach of a ride the whole way around - Eoin McCarthy, trainer."

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best.
Comment
Quiet last time but after a break; consistent in the main; shade high in the weights

Won his bumper here and added a Punchestown maiden hurdle; he's been good and bad in six defeats over fences and current wellbeing is a bit of an issue ahead of this return to hurdling.
