Veteran pointer, two wins and 14 places from 35 starts; enjoyed a career highlight when beating Fountain House in this race two seasons ago; confirmed his liking for this challenge by finishing third in last year, 2l behind runner-up Turnupdevolume; out of sorts in points this season; pulled up on last three starts, including in a Lingstown banks race won by Fountain House. |

Prolific points' winner extended his excellent record around this course when running away with Ladies' Cup over this trip on Tuesday; stiffer task now conceding weight all-round, but in excellent fettle and big shout. |

Overcame two spots of bother when a winning favourite in last season's Bishopscourt Cup here over the regular track; well beaten in two orthodox hunter chases this season; in contrast, has won nine consecutive races in points, including three this term; was relatively immature when beaten by Knockiel Synge in this race in 2024; a leading points rider claims a valuable 7lb. |

11st 4lb |
Has shown her best form over this cross-country course, winning the 2023 Ladies' Cup and fine third in last season's La Touche; none too fluent here in November when a remote fourth and tame effort back over the conventional fences on latest at Thurles; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

C&D winner last summer off 5lb lower and another good run on the banks course at Punchestown this May, finishing a close third; subsequent defeat in a French Listed chase is easily forgiven. |

Hunter chase winner; yet to win a handicap, recent pick being 2m6f Fairyhouse second off 106 in first-time cheekpieces; two uninspiring recent efforts (on heavy) don't inspire confidence and headgear left off here. |

Point-to-point winner; 0-9 in chases; went close over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in January; all five subsequent races have been at 3m or beyond; generally found wanting, but second to a stablemate over 3m2f at Down Royal in April was encouraging; absent since. |

Never better than seventh in five maiden hurdle runs; won a maiden point at Comea in February after a year off; however, that was a weak race, and he has struggled in two hunter chase outings; in the right yard (11 wins in this event since 1997), but otherwise hard to make a case. |
