Sole win from 15 starts came at Punchestown in 2023 off 105; didn't run badly on seasonal return in a Listed handicap hurdle here (2m4f, heavy) but stopped quickly and pulled up at Navan next time (2m4f, soft to heavy); ran one of his best races last time when headed late on into second here (2m, heavy); return to this trip is no issue and place chance with a repeat. |

Four chase wins include the valuable 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick at Christmas 2024; has run only four times since then; fortunate to win a 2m2f Thurles handicap chase in February, after the leader fell at the last; well beaten off revised mark at Limerick. |

Four chase wins include 2m4f Tim Duggan here at Christmas 2024 and first success since came last month in 2m2f Thurles handicap, fortunate after likely winner fell last; back up to a career-high mark now so has it to do. |

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 mares' chase at Thurles (2m2f, good to yielding) in March; nothing in three subsequent starts over fences but ran a good race in the Galway Tribes back over hurdles in August; ultimately finished tailed off when stepped up in trip at Listowel last time (2m4f, good to yielding); drops another 1lb now. |

Won a mares' chase at Thurles (2m2f, gd-yld) in March; came up dry in three subsequent starts over fences but ran a pleasing race in the Tribes on return to hurdling last month and 1lb lower now; best form at shorter than this. |

Smart bumper form hasn't been replicated in 2m maiden hurdles albeit useful level of form; potential improver now upped in trip for handicap debut and return to softer ground should suit too; market likely best guide after more than two year's absence. |

11st 8lb |
Ran consistently well when sent over fences last term, culminating in a ready win in a similar contest at Wexford where reapplied cheekpieces seemingly had a positive impact; four of these were behind him there, but he's 8lb higher now and wouldn't it to dry out too much. |

Better hurdler but has performed respectably in beginners' chases this season, runner-up at Cork (2m, yielding) and led most of the way when fourth at Down Royal (2m4f yielding); solid first handicap effort at Limerick last month, having travelled well into the race; could go well. |

Point-to-point winner off the mark under rules in 2m3f maiden here a year ago but well held both starts afterwards; 2m6f possibly stretched her stamina on recent comeback run so not one to rule out back at 2m4f here on better ground. |

Three time hurdling winner remains a maiden after three chase starts; beaten a head in a Tipperary novice chase last time (2m3f, good to yielding); not obviously well treated off 120 for handicap chase debut but at least comes into the race in good form; trainer does well here (22-194). |
