Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

In-foal mare; won Killarney mares' Listed contest in May, relegating Shecouldbeanything to third; backed that up by beating Senecia at Listowel; can be fancied to uphold form with those two rivals on these terms and could go close. |

Has been in the best form of his career lately, winning with a bit to spare at Naas and Fairyhouse over this trip, beating Union Park latter occasion; bumped up 9lb since but still has to be respected. |

Off for a year after being touched off in a 2m2f handicap chase at Thurles in 2021; decent effort on his second run back over the same C&D before Christmas, a neck behind today's rival (and subsequent winner) Union Park; bolted up at Naas early in the month, chance has to be taken very seriously despite an 8lb rise. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle and three-time chase winner when based in Ireland; makes stable debut from a workable mark and will find this easier than Punchestown festival hurdle he contested in April but has fitness to prove and would appeal much more on soft/heavy ground. |

Had a fine first half of the season and after some wobbles he got back on track with a clear-cut victory at Cork (2m, yielding), albeit in an eventful race; 12lb rise spells danger in this warmer company. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-29 over hurdles; rated 13lb lower over timber but recent form in both codes has been disappointing and a major revival is needed. |

Better chaser than hurdler, although hasn't won since taking 2m4f Cork handicap hurdle in November 2023; safely held over hurdles of late, of limited appeal back chasing. |
