Bumper and hurdle winner lost her form over fences earlier this year but there was some encouragement from her hurdle run here last time; has to do more, though. |

Is 0-9 over fences and failed to complete in her last two starts, albeit very much up against it at Listed level last time; doesn't look well treated on any of her chase form to date. |

Narrow winner of a 2m1f handicap chase on good-to-yielding at Ballinrobe 13 months ago; let down by his jumping when running over a longer trip at Galway; fading when making a bad mistake two out at the Listowel festival and absent since. |

Ran well over hurdles in July but well behind last time at Navan, that after a pull-up over fences; only 4-41 overall and opposable in a race of this nature. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 165y |

Two disappointing runs over fences since placed in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in July; probably vulnerable to younger and less exposed rivals. |

Not at his best since second to the high-class Saint Roi at Galway last season; was promoted to 133 as a result of that display; now 15lb lower, showed signs of a return to form when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month; slightly disappointing at Galway this year but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner. |

Dual hurdle winner; signs of getting the hang of fences when fourth on his handicap debut at Navan and duly built on that to score comfortably over 2m5f here on Saturday; up again in trip and now penalised, but he's looking nicely progressive. |

C&D winner in October; latest win came at Naas in January over 2m; holding his form reasonably well since and didn't run badly lto when beaten 11.5l into sixth by Galway Plate winner Pinkerton; likes soft ground. |

Verdict
Pats Choice is a potential improver on handicap debut and the same can be said for THE DASHER CONWAY who is narrowly preferred. He showed a bit more at Punchestown last time and looks on a workable opening mark here. Truckers Angel could get in the mix after her recent hurdle win. [Phill Anderson]
