Won a bumper at this venue and only narrowly denied a third success over timber at Ballinrobe two runs ago; subsequent Flat run worth ignoring and he's feasibly treated; versatile with regards to conditions. |

Won a beginners' chase over C&D (good) in August 2024; dual-purpose sort has failed to add to his tally since and he is best on good ground; fit from the Flat but needs the track to dry out. |

Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

Dual-winning chaser whose last win came at Listowel in September off 1lb lower (2m6f, good to yielding); looks up against it based on a failure to complete at Gowran over fences and Fairyhouse over hurdles before finishing tailed off here last time. |

12st 0lb |
Four wins over hurdles, the most recent coming in this race last year off 2lb lower on yielding to soft, his second win over C&D; out of depth on the Flat last time, but this is more suitable and acts on good ground; player. |

Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run. |

2-21 in Ireland, mostly for Henry de Bromhead and with latest win last June (made most); not nearly so good in her three runs for new yard but latest defeat was not as heavy and Irish record suggests that a return to better ground would be very much in her favour; title-challenging stable has made some telling strikes in handicaps this spring and she is one to note. |

No win since scoring at Sligo (20.5f, good) in August 2023; rated 12lb higher over fences but failed to exploit lower hurdles mark on last four starts in 2025 and has now joined a new yard; lacks a run and best watched unless market speaks. |

Hasn't really threatened over fences or over hurdles this year; beaten 12l when fourth at Listowel on latest; dropped another 2lb and blinkers now tried; others make more appeal. |
