9st 4lb |
Veteran's last win came over C&D in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August 2023; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 2.75l fifth in this last year and 11lb lower now; not beaten far the last twice, fast ground is fine and he's an interesting runner. |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on penultimate run at this track (1m2f) when beaten 3.5l in sixth; kept on well to take 1l third at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) on latest; off a winnable mark and drop in trip is in this veteran's favour. |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable. |

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well backed on his stable debut at Nottingham in October (8.3f, heavy) but blew the start and finished tailed off; again slowly away when third over 1m2f back at Nottingham six days later; pulled up on hurdle debut 45 days ago; risky. |

He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

Five-time winner for Johnny Murtagh and clearly not the horse he once was, but showed that he is potentially at a winning level when a close third in a 1m handicap at Cork two weeks ago; this might be his trip now and he is certainly respected. |

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; went close for this yard at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); below best in four starts since then; has tumbled in the ratings but will make limited appeal until showing signs of a revival. |

Out in box 21 but was drawn in 16 when winning this 12 months ago off 10lb higher; comes with risks, given that he was again slowly away last time at the Curragh, but has a similar chance to Benevento on their previous 1-2 at Gowran; has to be of interest. |
