11st 12lb |
Won his third hurdle race when taking a Thurles handicap in March over 3m; however, has been way below that level since and best watched on chasing debut. |

Ran no race at Fairyhouse last time but he did it nicely at Thurles the time before (3m, soft) and has won on yielding ground; couldn't discount. |

10st 12lb |
His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off 108 at Cork (3m) in April; tailed off in this race last year. |

His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off this mark at Cork (3m, yielding); challenging for the lead when unseated at the third last at Wexford last time; down to an attractive mark. |

30th Jan 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two wins over hurdles, the most recent over 3m at Thurles nearly two years ago; seasonal best on return to his original trainer when second over 3m at this venue after Christmas; unplaced in a handicap of a higher standard at Fairyhouse last time; stablemate Bal De Rio is marginally better suited by the race conditions but lacks a recent run. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 123) at around 2m4f on soft/heavy; absent since pulled up after never travelling at Fairyhouse in February but has run well fresh so don't rule out on chase debut. |

Improved mare won handicaps at Galway and Listowel this term; might not have stayed 2m7f at Limerick last time and the drop to this trip should suit, so looks a player. |

Prolific winner over hurdles/fences, most recently 2m2f Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April 2025; not seen since yard debut fourth of seven in Killarney handicap chase in October so perhaps best watched. |

Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |

Not the horse he once was but coming down the handicap to a more competitive mark; stayed on decently to finish fourth in a Down Royal handicap last month; off the same mark here and could go well. |

Once smart Flat horse hasn't won over hurdles in a long time although some promise on latest at Roscommon in re-fitted cheekpieces when nearest at finish over this trip; seems to be down to a competitive mark. |

Placed off 3lb higher at Ayr (3m, heavy) last December but absent since two lesser efforts later that month (wore cheekpices last time) and yet to add to his Irish maiden win in 2021; had wind operation in June. |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |
