Latest win at Bellewstown in July 2023 when landing lucrative handicap hurdle; barely beaten a rival in five starts since and continues to slide in the weights; not an obvious contender and needs revival. |

Ex-Gordon Elliott, third in this race last year from out the back off 2lb higher; won over hurdles in May on debut for Olly Murphy and not disgraced here next time, before a poor show over hurdles 25 days ago; not impossible if that latest run can be forgiven. |

Won a Punchestown novice chase in December 2024; ran only twice last season; now set for a first hurdles start since jumping badly at Listowel in September 2023; had previously produced a career-best when winning a handicap at the Galway festival; hard to be confident about his prospects. |

Placed more often than winning over hurdles; did record his fourth win on the Flat at Tramore last month before finishing close up in a charity race at the Curragh on Sunday; pace will be on here which will help him being delivered late and certainly respected. |

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards. |

Capable handicap hurdler back in the day and has won over hurdles and fences here; couldn't cut it in novice company after chase debut win here in 2024 (after longer layoff); nice run on the Flat when last seen in August and, given his track record, this race may have been the plan for a while. |

Five-time winner (four over hurdles and one chasing); last win was in a beginners' at Ballinrobe last year (2m1f, yielding); form dipped markedly in two runs at the end of that summer and he was never involved when pulled up in a novice handicap chase back from a 223-day absence at Wexford in April; questions to answer based on form but his hurdles rating puts him in the thick of things. |

Best hurdles form was in 2022, and he has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot since a 2024 Chester win; no merit in his recent Navan run; may struggle to run up to an official rating of 117. |

Dual-hurdles and chase winner is rated 8lb lower over timber; very comfortable winner of a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in August (2m4f, good to yielding) but unable to follow up back over hurdles off lower mark at Killarney; set a tall task in a Grade 3 chase at Tipperary last time; not out of it at his best but seems to be better over fences. |
