Form & Verdict

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time.

Heavy-ground bumper winner whose hurdle runs have been on better ground, notably all-the-way win in 2m2f Cork novice in May; very disappointing chase debut at Tramore later in month, dropping out tamely once headed two out; much better than that and remains of interest but won't get a soft lead here.

Provided Rachael Blackmore with her final career winner last time at Cork when impressively winning a novice hurdle by 12l (2m1f, good); that was by far a career-best and if capable of repeating that on her first try over fences she will take some beating here.

Form & Verdict
Was a shock winner of a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle in 2022 but hasn't repeated that form since; yet to score in six chase starts but best effort came when runner-up to a now 130-rated horse over C&D in April; go close with a repeat of that run.

Won a Tramore novice before finishing 6l in front of Speculatrix at Listowel and better off at the weights with that rival; however, arrives on the back of a poor run at Punchestown last week.

Plenty of chasing experience; off the mark at the seventh attempt in a four-runner at Tramore in August; another solid run when runner-up at Listowel; officially rated 8lb inferior to Birdie Or Bust who has to concede only 4lb

Grade 2 juvenile hurdle winner in 2022 won first race since in a four-runner Tramore novice chase (15.5f, good) last month, jumping well; handles most ground, steps back up in trip and could be the one to benefit if Zenta fluffs her lines.
