11st 4lb |
Won a beginners' chase over C&D (good) in August 2024; dual-purpose sort has failed to add to his tally since and he is best on good ground; fit from the Flat but needs the track to dry out. |

8st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner; had a run in a novice chase before competing from out of the handicap at Naas on return to the Flat; this is a more realistic task, but trainer may have a better chance with Cleopatra's Needle. |

Three-time Flat winner; had a recent run in a novice chase but all of his best form in both codes is on good ground and he's 8lb wrong here; yard has stronger contender with Grann's Boy. |

May have needed last month's run here after a break; runs this track well and won this 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; considered. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |
16/1 |

Five hurdle wins, including here, plus one chase score; won at Tramore over this trip last time and is 5lb higher in a better race so needs a bit more. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Vastly inferior hurdler to his two rivals and he's now 0-9 over fences; should be outclassed. |

15th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Was the 1-8 favourite when winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Cork (2m1f, good to yielding) last year; behind Killinure Lass on return from a break at Galway in a handicap hurdle last time but should improve for the run; now makes chase debut for top yard and always dangerous to discount horses from this stable, but she does have plenty to prove. |

29th Jul 2024 Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 13lb |
Bumper winner won a Cork maiden hurdle nearly a year ago; then disappointed at Bellewstown before a better effort in a Downpatrick novice; an absence to defy but can't be ignored from this source |

15th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 110y |

Bumper winner here last summer returned from a break to take second in a Cork maiden in July before winning similar mares' contest last month; dropped out alarmingly quickly since in Bellewstown mares' hurdle on quicker ground; upped in trip and rain could arrive in time. |

Won this last year off 7lb lower and some decent efforts in defeat afterwards; however, he might need this first run since August. |
