11st 8lb |
Arrives in terrific form, winning over hurdles at Listowel in late May and then scoring in a beginners' over 19.5f (good) here on his chase debut; he's a brother of Scottish National winner Captain Cody so should stay this far and his opening mark looks workable; should go well on handicap chase debut. |

11st 12lb |
Hurdles mark now 109 after Listowel handicap win over a furlong farther (good to yielding), his first start for five months; they were mulling over staying over flights a bit longer, so interesting that the brother to Scottish National winner Captain Cody is now deemed ready for chasing; ran well in sole 4yo point. |

Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, yielding) last season, beating Big Dispute by 0.75l; cruised easily to the lead before emptying late on at Leopardstown (2m5f, good to yielding) when last seen over Christmas; that performance suggests a win off this mark is within reach but may improve for this return. |

Hurdles winner made a positive seasonal return at Listowel in May when second (2m5f, good to yielding) and that run set him up nicely to win his chasing debut at Wexford in a novice contest (2m4f, good), jumping soundly to repel Costacurta by 2.5l; turnaround at the weights with that rival should bring them closer. |

Fair good-ground hurdler over around 2m4f, easy winner at Bellewstown last summer and comes here on the back of a good run at Listowel; nicely-bred sort goes chasing now under regular rider. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; looked set to win when taking a heavy fall on chase debut in an incident-packed four-runner race at Kilbeggan (3m); made amends with a 5l win over 2m5f at Sligo two weeks ago. |

9st 0lb |
Bumper winner at four and fairly ordinary maiden hurdler; lapped in his last two maidens but that 10l sixth to Enceladus (Royal Ascot handicap winner who followed up in Gordon Stakes last week) catches the eye; maybe it flatters him, but the market will be interesting. |

Limerick maiden winner and third in the Lartigue here last year; couple of mishaps at Killarney this year and disappointed in a three-miler at Galway, but his fortunes changed when winning over 2m4f at Bellewstown with two of these behind; stamina won it for him that day; 5lb higher now. |

Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

Dual Flat winner's sole success over hurdles came at the Cheltenham November meeting in 2024 when successful off 7lb lower (2m5f, good); beaten 31l in a quality Aintree handicap in April (2m1f, good to soft) when last seen over obstacles; run on the Flat at Chester wasn't too encouraging either. |

Met with heavy defeats in his two Flat races last term and hasn't lived up to expectations as a hurdler; 2024 was much more promising, including with his second in this race off 1lb lower than today, and it may be good a pointer to see how his two stablemates get on in the Chester Cup. |

Justified strong market support in 2m5f Cheltenham handicap (good) in November 2024; belatedly back to that sort of form when second of six at Newcastle (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in November but let down by his jumping when only a respectable fourth at Kempton (2m5f, good) over Christmas; drops back in trip for his first run since. |
