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.

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).

Won his maiden hurdle here by 17l in May last year (2m3f, good); made a positive chase debut at Tramore (2m, good) when a distant third, jumping left throughout; improved at Wexford next time when a 2.5l runner-up behind Garnacho in a novice chase (2m4f, good); 4lb better off with the winner now; big chance.

A 120-rated hurdler, so just sneaks in here, and won good-ground maiden over this trip last summer; after seven months off, was on his head the whole way and jumped novicey and left when third on chase debut at Tramore; going back up in trip at a left-handed track looks a smart move; related to winning chasers and likely to improve.

Has suffered mishaps over fences lately, equipment failure at Tramore, hampered and unseated at Punchestown; second in this race in 2025; could be interesting in first-time blinkers; however, Fiver Friday appeals as the stable's main hope.

2-12 over hurdles and rated 8lb higher in that sphere; hasn't looked like exploiting lower chase mark in recent starts; valid excuse at Tramore latest (mistake at third, pulled up after stirrup broke); capable of better than that and can't discount, especially if the rain misses.
