Gained eighth career win (fifth over fences) at Wexford when last seen in May; has won around here before and looks to exploit 20lb lower hurdles' mark; can't be discounted for local yard. |

Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

1-7 over fences; best run since his beginners' chase win at Down Royal (19.5f, good) last year came when a 3.75l third at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); disappointed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen latest; runner up in the QR handicap on the Flat here in 2024 so not totally discounted in new headgear combination. |

Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer and is unexposed as a chaser; okay run over hurdles last time, and small chance if they've got his confidence back (didn't want to know about jumping on his last run over fences). |

Dual hurdle winner at Clonmel (2m4f/2m6f) is yet to score over fences but has posted several solid runs in defeat; two recent Wexford efforts were well below best, however, and now reverts to hurdles with blinkers tried. |

Dual hurdle winner at Clonmel is yet to score over fences but has posted several solid runs in defeat; beaten 7l at Kilbeggan over 2m4f but was out of his comfort zone early over C&D last time; the cheekpieces worn then are removed; needs best. |

Won twice over hurdles at Clonmel last year up to 2m6f; sent chasing after and some decent efforts in defeat including over 2m4f at Kilbeggan last time; previously ran well enough over C&D; cheekpieces added; looks stable first-string so respected. |

Had very useful form in 2023 and looked sharper for his Flat return after 851 days off the track when a 12l sixth of ten at Wexford (2m, good to yielding); on a nice mark if continuing to shake off his rustiness. |

Talented jumper wasn't disgraced on sole previous start on the Flat at Roscommon in July 2023 (RPR 75); however, he's been absent a long time and is likely best watched on debut for new yard. |

One of three for trainer; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; moderate efforts in the autumn and two outings back from a break haven't been much better. |

Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival; not a bad run at Fairyhouse after a break; however, Come On The Lads seems to be the yard's number one. |

Both wins of 20-race career came over fences back-to-back 18 months ago when landing competitive handicaps at Leopardstown over 2m1f; largely struggled since, pulled up on last two starts; last run over hurdles in October when beaten 16l in novice; up in trip and rated 10lb lower over hurdles; questions attached and yard perhaps holds better claims with Sean Mc. |

One of two runners for these connections; best run when winning a valuable 2m1f Leopardstown handicap chase in 2025; hasn't been as good since, with best runs coming back at that track; questions after pulled-up over C&D last time. |

Both chase wins have been in 2m1f handicaps at Leopardstown; sights are lowered here after running in stronger company at that venue during the winter. |
