Three wins over hurdles; placed in six consecutive attempts over fences between May 2024 and March 2025; fine second in Listed novice handicap chase at Navan in March; had a possible excuse (skin scrapes) when beaten favourite at Kilbeggan in June; trip-versatile. |

Sole win from 21 runs came in a Listed novice handicap chase at Navan last March (2m5f, heavy) off this mark; badly out of form since and now makes stable debut with first-time cheekpieces replacing the blinkers worn the last day. |

Four-time winner under rules split evenly between hurdles and fences; latest win came in a Navan handicap chase off 116 in February (3m, soft to heavy); pulled up and beaten 29 l in two chasing runs this season, so a bit to prove now in first-time cheekpieces. |

Dual chase winner over 2m4f on good ground and stays 3m; had place prospects when coming down two out in a Grade 2 handicap at Haydock last month; cheekpieces fitted then are left off, as she goes back up in trip; Slevin rides for first time and yard in fine form. |

Has faced stiff tasks over hurdles on her last two starts in races won by Wodhooh and Feet Of A Dancer; has a bit to prove on the wellbeing front as her runs before those (chasing and hurdling) weren't her best, but both her chase wins have been on good ground at about this trip and this Irish raider now goes in cheekpieces. |

Could have done without this race being transferred from Cheltenham as he won there in October (good ground) and stayed on well for fifth in last month's Plate; his run in between at Doncaster in a race that's worked out well was also admirable; every chance. |

Humdrum start to chase career but a better horse since back from a break, following a Killarney win with an uncomplicated display over C&D (good) in October; would have finished closer than his near-4l third at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December but for a mistake at the last and that form has worked out; now 9lb higher than the latest win but open to improvement. |

French hurdle winner who improved upon his previous chase form when staying on well to be beaten a head at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) three weeks ago on his reappearance, when he was awarded the race due to interference; from a top Irish yard and today's longer trip could prompt further progress. |
