Won the 3m4f Cork National in November and a good third over 3m6f at Fairyhouse since; below form in a Naas Grade 3 novice last time; just three hurdle runs, the last was in November 2021 but handles this ground so not ruled out. |

Seasoned chaser got off the mark at the ninth attempt when making all in 3m4f Cork National in November (good-to-yielding); solid third off 9lb higher in 3m6f Porterstown Handicap at Fairyhouse later in month (winner just edged out in Thursday's Thyestes Chase); upped in grade here so career-best required, but could go well. |

1-31 under rules, with sole win coming in a Gowran handicap chase in 2023; posted a decent effort over timber last time when staying on for a 3l fourth (3m, soft to heavy); up 1lb and overall record is off-putting. |

On a decent run at the moment; had Ilbdere and Adaliz close behind him when winning a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan early this month and reverted to flights when a solid fourth in a 3m handicap at Listowel a week ago; back out quickly once again and not hard to see him involved at the death once again. |

In fine form during the summer; notching up a hat-trick over hurdles and fences at Galway and Kilbeggan at 2m6f-3m1f; well beaten favourite in Cork National last time and now reverts to hurdles; best form on better ground. |

Sole success over fences was in a mares' beginners' event at Ballinrobe in September 2024; respectable efforts here and there before finishing an excellent second in the Galway Blazers; failed to get into the Kerry National; the one to beat if she can reproduce her Galway effort. |

0-8 over fences and hasn't won since scoring over hurdles at Ayr in April 2024; failed to complete in two of three starts this season and beaten 63l at Leopardstown when he did get around; top yard and mark tumbling but hard to make a case for on form. |

Had smart form when with Gordon Elliott before losing his way and selling for £3,000; fell midrace on stable debut but, with the cheekpieces back on, he outran odds of 100-1 to finish a fairly close third at Haydock (3m4f, good); if as good again here then he could have some say. |

Chase winner over 3m2f on good ground at Down Royal in May; Kilbeggan run six days later may have come too soon for him; should be sharper as a result of recent hurdles run at Punchestown. |
