120-rated hurdler has quickly established himself as a useful chaser; put in a good round of jumping when an emphatic winner of Clonmel novice handicap (18.5f, yielding) in December; jumping was less proficient at Naas and Gowran; won't get away with errors in this contest. |

Went out on her shield after making a bold bid in a Roscommon handicap chase (21.5f, good) latest; is 2lb below her last winning hurdles mark and could be dangerous if she's given too much rope in front. |

Sole win from 19 attempts came over hurdles at Punchestown in January last year (2m4f, soft); 0-9 chasing and largely struggled in chase starts last season; pulled up when last seen at Navan in March; may need this. |

Bumper and three-time hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but was just denied by Conyers Hill at Down Royal in January; runner-up in a Tipperary handicap in May but his jumping was sluggish and he will have to be sharper on return; tongue-tie added. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Handicap hurdle winner here in January 2024 (3m, heavy); some good runs in defeat over fences last season, filling the frame in three of his four runs inc' here off 1lb higher (2m5f, soft to heavy); returned from just over a year off at Navan last time when never better than midfield and pulled up; can get involved if back to his best but a bit to prove now. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two seasons ago; showed signs of developing into a consistent handicap chaser last winter; off for a year but could feature if returning in peak form; arguably the most appealing of three runners for his trainer. |

Got his head back in front over timber at Fairyhouse in April; struggled on the level since and yet to show enough in five starts over fences to suggest he can defy this mark. |

Dual-purpose veteran won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April on soft to heavy; last of 8 on first run since on the level at Tramore (2m, good); is 4lb lower than last Flat success but softer ground would be preferable. |

11st 9lb |
Gained back-to-back wins at Down Royal and at this course last January, latterly off 104; huge improvement needed judged on first two runs of the season but tends to come alive around this time of the season; monitor the betting. |

Followed up a 2m4f win at Down Royal in January with a 2m1f success at this venue four days later, beating subsequent 8l Gowran winner Champagne Mahler; should be better for a run at Limerick earlier in the month; has 3-8 record at this track. |

Three-time hurdles winner in 2023, showing a liking for a test of stamina in testing conditions; now 3kb below his last winning mark; Bbest run for Sam Curling last season was over fences; may find the ground too lively; first outing for this stable. |

Three-time hurdles winner in 2023; has slipped 2lb below last winning mark and shaping though his turn might be near on recent starts at Limerick and Cork; rain would enhance his chance (all wins on soft and heavy). |
