11st 12lb |
Best known as a very talented hurdler, also landing a Grade 1 novice chase in 2021; had jumping issues over fences subsequently and this is his first chase start since 2022; returned from some time off with a point win last month (3m, soft); it remains to be seen how much ability this 12yo retains but he's entitled to considerable respect on his hunter chase debut. |

Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time; 17l behind in seventh at Kilbeggan last time; drop into 0-100 company for the first time may spark a revival. |

Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time, but his two runs at this track last autumn were some of his better efforts. |

Five-time winner over hurdles is rated 49lb inferior to Ballyadam in that discipline; belated Flat debut when well held in Bellewstown maiden last month (5.5l off Battling Ski); good bit to find. |

Had a lot of racing in Ireland and was getting beaten in claiming hurdles when last seen during the summer; makes debut for Mickey Bowen but he's a 9yo now and hard to warm to. |

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

Lost form for his previous trainer after two good runs in September 2024; plenty to prove on his first run since out of his depth in a Flat maiden last autumn, previously a moderate fourth in a claimer over hurdles. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Thurles in March 2025; otherwise undistinguished form, including when tailed off in this race 12 months ago; should at least strip fitter as a result of a recent Flat run. |

11st 4lb |
Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up. |

Hasn't won since joining this yard last year after unseating with the race at her mercy in a Wexford claimer; decent efforts in opening two runs for this yard, but not at her best recently; needs to bounce back; cheekpieces go on. |
