11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help. |

Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time bumper winner is 2-6 over hurdles; rated 130 over fences after three runs, the best of which was his latest 5l third at Galway behind a promising sort (2m2f, good); forecast rain won't pose any problems but unraced beyond 2m5f, so stamina to prove. |

Novice hurdle winner here in October 2024 (20.5f, soft); lightly raced since; sent off the 6-4 favourite in this last year on return from 234 days off and found just one too good; similar preparation this year and Townend keeps the faith; player. |

30th Sep 2024 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 63y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner is 0-4 over hurdles but has run well in defeat more than once; the 2m7f trip may have stretched her last time at Ballinrobe; her fourth at Galway (2m5f, good) on her penultimate start looks strong form in the context of this race and she should be thereabouts. |

Running well since returning from a break; won a 2m4f Wexford bumper on her penultimate start; ran another sound race in fourth at Galway last time when outstayed by Arctic Gale; is 4lb better off now but not sure she can reverse the form over this longer trip. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 1lb |
Went close over fences several times before an emphatic win over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and was unable to make any impression in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; no match for a smart type in a novice chase at Killarney a month ago. |

Several near misses before getting off the mark in spectacular fashion over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and was unable to make any impression in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; far from an easy task here conceding weight over a trip possibly short of his best but clearly a big player. |

Several near misses before getting off the mark in spectacular fashion over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and extreme distances may well be what he wants, but this trip should be fine and he is a leading contender. |

Sole Flat win (31 attempts) was debut in 2020; had two hurdle wins (2m5f and 2m4f) in 2025 and there have been bits of chase form in recent months; visor returning instead of blinkers might possibly help, but there are more likely candidates. |
