Four Flat wins (at around 1m2f) in Ireland; 0-18 over hurdles, the latest, a Market Rasen fifth (2m2.5f; numerous hurdles omitted owing to the low sun), is muddling form. |

Four-time winner, most recently over 1m4f at Leopardstown early last season; went very close at the same venue last time, confirming a return to form at Fairyhouse; rider provides good value for 7lb claim. |

Four-time winner, most recently here over 1m4f in May 2025; 2lb lower here and shaped like coming back to form when a 1.75l third at Fairyhouse (1m6f) on latest; stays this trip and enters calculations now. |

Two-time winner, including here over 1m2f (soft) but hasn't scored since 2023; fine effort when last sighted at Dundalk in November; off since and has a modest record when fresh but worth a market check. |
