Useful Flat performer, six wins, including two Listed and the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot, rated 108 at his peak; maiden hurdle winner 12 months ago, best effort when third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Irancy in a 2m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter; struggled over a longer tip in a Punchestown Grade 1. |

11st 12lb |
Useful Flat performer who got his act together over hurdles when third (beaten roughly 2l) in the Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month, form that received a timely form boost on Tuesday with Grade 1 success for Irancy; quite possibly more to come at this trip (half-brother's best form at 2m4f) and not one to put a line through. |

11st 12lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and easily followed up at Hereford (2m, soft); tailed off in Grade 2 at Kempton (2m, good to soft) since but he's a leading contender if bouncing back to his best now back down in grade. |

Ex-Irish 7yo who is 2-3 for new stable, the wins in Class 5 handicaps at Lingfield (2m3f) and Leicester (2m4f) in December; now 7lb higher and upped in grade but may well improve further; helps to give Ben Pauling a robust hand. |

Well held before final-flight fall on handicap debut at Kilbeggan in May and signed off in Ireland with 36l defeat on chase debut in June; that said, it will be interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with him. |

Returns from a layoff, having shown all of his chase form in the autumn, winning twice (including 2m4f Grade 3) prior to a form-dip in Fairyhouse Grade 1; needs to resume progress but has big-field handicap experience, namely a good effort over hurdles at the 2025 Dublin Racing Festival; cheekpieces added. |
