11st 0lb |
In fine form early last year with back-to-back soft-ground wins in a rated chase at this venue and a Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); moderate fifth over hurdles on seasonal return; next two chase starts were uninspiring; kept on well for second over 2m6f here five weeks ago; this trip could help to bring out the best in him. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

In fine form over fences when last seen early this year with back to back wins at Punchestown (22.5f, soft) and a novice chase here in February (3m2f, soft); has won over timber and conditions fine for return; big chance if fit in first-time tongue tie. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for David O'Meara last year (1m6f-2m) but has been out of form for new stable this season and is not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip; considered only if lively in the betting. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs for new stable this year but now 1lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) for David O'Meara just under a year ago; usually ridden patiently; revival possible. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins for David O'Meara last year (2m/1m6f), two on Tapeta, and she's on a competitive mark on her best form; the step back up in trip may help but she's not easy to fancy judged on this year's two runs. |

2nd Apr 2024 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has been a useful stayer in his time but losing run is up to 16, despite him having fallen 21lb below his last winning mark, and last two efforts were well below his best; best to look elsewhere. |

Defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2022; however, recent form is nowhere near that level and he finished behind two of these rivals here five weeks ago; losing sequence looks set to continue. |

Exposed sort who stays 2m well, is on a good mark and ran well to be third at Wolverhampton (2m) last time; chance. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ought to be a shoo-in for a 1m4f race off his current mark but he hasn't run on turf for nearly two years and he made it 0-27 overall when pulled up over hurdles recently; tongue-tie/blinkers abandoned. |

1lb lower than when second of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) last October, but well held on last month's return over the same C&D (good) and is now 0-26 under rules; others more convincing. |

Flat winner in France in summer 2023 but yet to show any worthwhile form on the Flat or over hurdles in Britain and is 23lb out of the weights for this handicap hurdle debut; sports first-time blinkers. |
