Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

Sole win was in a mares' chase at Sligo last October; good runs in defeat in two handicaps at Punchestown; didn't quite get up the hill in the Galway Blazers but this trip and track is likely to suit well; contender. |

1-6 over fences, the win coming in a mares' chase at Sligo last October; good runs in defeat the last twice in handicaps at Punchestown, beaten just 1.25l there on latest (2m4f, gd-yld) off 4lb lower; should go well, but has to definitively prove she stays this far. |

Didn't hang around over hurdles and won the second of his beginners' chase starts at Clonmel (2m2f, heavy) in December; fourth of nine in Grade 1 company next time at Leopardstown; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown festival in May (2m4f, yielding); never involved when favourite in a better Ballinrobe contest last time; blinkers go on, and he's of interest if they sharpen him. |

Didn't hang around long over hurdles and solid form in first season over fences; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding) last month; hasn't raced beyond 2m4f but good chance if he stays (dam won hurdle over 2m4f). |

Has taken well to chasing this term, winning a 2m2f Clonmel beginners' (heavy) and good late headway for fourth behind Romeo Coolio in a Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m1f, yielding) over Christmas; good attitude when runner-up in a Down Royal novice chase in January (2m1f, yielding to soft); okay run when fifth in a Listed Naas handicap (2m4f, heavy) when last seen. |

One of three for trainer; beaten favourite in all four beginners' chase starts, the latest of which when 33l behind at Wexford after some jumps lacking in fluency; hard to trust and probably wants softer, but she's dangerous if putting it all together. |

130-rated hurdler; fair efforts on first two chase runs, though was beaten by longer-priced stablemate Port Joulain at Fairyhouse in January; beaten falling at the last in a Leopardstown event that has been well advertised by the 8l runner-up Come Walk With Me in landing handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. |

Smart hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere and has won in heavy ground; solid efforts on both chase runs, though was beaten by a longer-priced stablemate last time; comes out a clear best at these weights, though, and has a good opportunity to go one better. |

Down Royal maiden hurdle winner early last year; 0-8 chasing but has shown a useful level of form in beginners' events and when second in 2m1f Cork handicap; dropped out tamely at Punchestown last month over 2m4f so questions to answer on that run. |
