Maiden who has not run on the Flat since second over 2m at Thurles in October 2023; ordinary form over hurdles this year; addition of tongue-tie could spark a revival. |

Dual-purpose maiden is 0-5 over timber; hasn't shown enough in two handicap hurdles to be of interest here, though could improve if the ground turns soft (has run well on soft on the Flat). |

Dual-purpose type; won on the Flat at Listowel in September; return to hurdles with a fine effort behind The Busy Fool and Park Of Kings at Naas (hampered); is 1lb wrong here but he can go well if repeating his last run and getting a clearer passage. |

Three runner-up finishes on turf this year, two of them over further than this; has failed to show his best form at this venue and it looked as if he needed further when sixth over C&D four weeks ago; on a positive note, his yard is in excellent form. |
