11st 2lb |
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024, but bounced back over 3m2f here (good) last time in first-time blinkers when runner-up after idling when leading (1.75l ahead of Je Suis); form of that race is questionable, but he has a notably low hurdles mark if he can repeat that effort. |

Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024 and is hard to fancy on recent poor hurdle runs; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Much better chaser, winning 3m4f Cork National last season (good); holds a whopping 30lb lower hurdles mark but unable to capitalise on it in three runs over timber this season; must be kept in mind considering his mark. |

11st 5lb |
Bagged two wins over hurdles last year, including one around here; has made a reasonably good start over fences, reaching the frame on last two starts from three runs so far in this sphere; not entirely convinced by stamina, but today's trip could well be a happy medium and has a lot more to bring to the table than most. |

Won his third race over hurdles when scoring at Ballinrobe last September off 4lb lower; some decent runs since but was pulled-up at Thurles last time; a squeak if bouncing back. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
11st 9lb |
Course handicap hurdle winner in 2021; bolted up on yard debut at Ballinrobe in September (2m6f, soft) before solid fifth at Listowel; below best at Cheltenham next time; ran well for a long way here (24.5f, yielding) over fences in December. |

Won a 3m2f Limerick handicap chase in May for the late Edward O'Grady; pulled up on next two outings (coughing on the first occasion); return to hurdling did the trick when he scored readily on recent stable debut at Ballinrobe; can remain competitive off 7lb higher, with the same talented 7lb claimer up. |

Useful staying handicap hurdler three seasons ago; struggled at this venue on comeback a fortnight ago; Sea Aster is probably the yard's number one hope here. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Absent since a faller four out when leading on chase debut at Downpatrick over two years ago; has run well fresh but seems certain to be all the better for this comeback run; trainer also runs Masterboy Davis so the market can guide as to expectations. |
