Arrives here in top form after winning back to back handicap hurdles at Cork over 2m4f (Onefortheditch 1.5l behind in second) and 3m; has gone up a total of 14lb and this is tougher but can't discount in current form. |

Point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner notched up a first handicap win over 2m4f (yielding) here 17 days ago; raised 7lb and moves up in trip but should be competitive again, though wouldn't want the track to dry out (non-runner on account of gd-yld before). |

3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |

Hasn't added to Tipperary maiden win in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but some good efforts in defeat this summer, notably Ballinrobe third (2m) and most recently second over same trip at Killarney under a prominent ride; yet to fully convince at this trip however. |

In flying form this season, winning his first three starts, two over fences before hurdle win at Punchestown off 90; bad mistake two out when fourth in Listed chase at Naas on latest and the winner since finished second in the Leinster National; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

In flying form this season, winning all three of his starts; took a Clonmel handicap (2m5f, good to yielding) chase in October and followed up back there next time (2m1f, soft); exploited lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month (2m3f, heavy); this is harder but he's in good form. |

A lot of Gigginstown's have been taking flight from Mullins' yard lately, and this modest performer will probably be on his way to Doncaster sales, rather than Elliott's, before long; did plug away over 2m2f when sixth of 20 here on Tuesday. |
