143-rated hurdler made a winning chase debut at Down Royal in May; mostly disappointing since but has ground and maybe trip on his side here; well handicapped on his hurdles form and might make that count here. |

11st 5lb |
Yet to win over fences but did go close over 2m4f in a Naas beginners' chase (soft) in March where she had Galway Plate winner Western Fold 5l behind; however, she hasn't fired the last twice and she may need softer ground. |

Hurdles winner on testing ground and easily the pick of three chase efforts last season when clear second in 2m4f Naas beginners (soft); looked a bit onepaced back at 2m at Cork latest; capable back up for Aspire Tower here although really wants it softer. |

Talented hurdler who won last year on her first two Flat starts and good Listed third at Down Royal (2m, good) last month; she may have more to offer in this code but such improvement is necessary off her opening mark. |

Still 7lb above the mark at which he gained his last chase win in March 2024, tough task on his first outing since the Punchestown festival; behind Dutch Scultz (fourth) but on the positive side, he was in front of Gaelic Art and Jasko Des Dames in that race. |

Winning pointer attracted market support on return to Rules' here but faded into sixth, 19l behind the winner; might have needed that after a short break and steps up to a more suitable trip off 1lb lower; not discounted for local yard. |

Two-time hurdle winner is 0-3 over the bigger obstacles; didn't run too badly in last two beginners chases on good to yielding at Killarney (2m1f) and Galway (2m2f); makes his handicap chase debut now off 123 and this looks a big ask; may need more experience in this sphere. |
