11st 10lb |
Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

Gained second hurdles win at Clonmel (19.5f, good) last May off 101; went close there the following month when 1.25l fourth; was last seen finishing second at Clonmel again in October; best form is on a sounder surface and might need the run. |

12st 7lb |
Some good form in Ireland this year and this lightly raced 5yo built on that to make all in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last Friday; strong claims under 7lb penalty. |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |

Back-to-back h'cap chase winner in October on good to yielding; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three recent runs over hurdles; probably wouldn't have done better than fourth when faller at Clonmel last time; has his chance again but inability to win over timber to date is worrying. |
