Limerick maiden winner; his fortunes changed this year when winning at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to yielding; Avalo second); failed to back it up next time at Listowel off 5lb higher but Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking. |

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. |

Landed a hat-trick of handicap hurdle wins for Mark Fahey in 2023; decent third for Cian Collins in a competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; debuts for the McParlans here and clearly respected if close to his best. |

Four-time winner over hurdles in Britain with Jamie Snowden at up to 2m5f, also a dual winner over fences; well beaten in Pertemps Final and pulled up (lost right shoe) at Haydock in April final start before bought for 18,000GBP following month; interesting to see if new yard can spark a revival, ground to suit. |

Two-time winner over hurdles, including 2m4f novice here in 2024; not so effective a chaser, most recently dropping away tamely after forcing much of pace in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May; blinkers now replace cheekpieces on hurdles return with a bit to prove. |

Handicap chase debutante; 2-10 over hurdles (both wins on good ground) and rated 4lb higher in that sphere; not many positives to take from three beginners' chase runs on soft at 15.5f-2m2f; this trip more suitable but needs the forecast rain to miss. |
