Form & Verdict
Lost his form for his former yard but seemingly revitalised by a change in scenery, winning nicely on his debut for this stable here last month (16.5f, yielding); up 8lb for that and steps up in trip now; career best needed off this mark and good ground would be a worry too.

Form & Verdict
Gained a second win over hurdles at Down Royal in August off 97 (2m1f, good); up 5lb for that; only run since came in an AW maiden at Dundalk and he finished last of 9; return to hurdling a plus, he'll like the ground and he's won at this trip; career high mark now but he can't be discounted.

Two hurdle wins include a success here; tailed off in a Fairyhouse beginners' chase returning from almost a year off and pulled up over hurdles at the same venue last time; needs to return to form.

Dual hurdles winner was a 15.5l fourth when last seen over timber in January last year; tailed off on seasonal return here last month in a beginners' chase; others more likely.

Rated 101 over hurdles following two wins in that sphere; makes chasing debut following almost a year off and likely to find a few too talented.

Form & Verdict
6-27 under Rules and is 2-12 over hurdles; out of form over fences; beaten 76l on his return from a break here in August; now back over hurdles for the first time since April 2021; thrown in off 116 on his chase mark of 140, has won here over fences and may have needed that last run so can't be discounted.

Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden.

Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well.

Better chaser; generally well below best last season; encouraging run at Galway on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan; remote fifth at Tramore; 1-1 at the track; well treated relative to chase mark.

5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Second runner for yard; promise in three maidens, particularly his last one at Kilbeggan in May, beaten just 3l by a horse now rated 116; his opening mark of 97 could be generous on that evidence and he looks the stable number one on jockey bookings; worth a market check on return from a 144 day break.

Best run over hurdles when second in a maiden over 2m here last October; hasn't matched that form since and was poor in cheekpieces at Kilbeggan last time; needs best on chasing debut.

Runner-up in a Wexford maiden and respectable handicap debut at Leopardstown over Christmas; possibly needed the comeback run in May so remains of interest and cheekpieces now tried although may want easier ground.

Form & Verdict
Locally trained; 5l behind Wee Charlie on his handicap hurdle debut here last month and the way he finished off his race suggested this longer trip will suit; better off at the weights with that rival and could turn that form around if handling the likely quicker conditions; big player.

Form & Verdict
Handicap debutant is one of two runners for yard; has shown promise in maidens, especially on his debut at Punchestown in June 2023 (2m4f, good to yielding); big prices for next two starts and didn't trouble the judge; back from a 262 absence today and probably best watched unless money comes.
