J: Danny Gilligan

T: Gordon Elliott

Won a Grade 3 hurdle over this trip in 2025 but hasn't repeated that form since; some fair runs in defeat over fences this season but has to get back to his best returned to hurdles; yard second-string.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Useful 128-rated hurdler last season, including a Grade 3 win; well beaten over various trips in four beginners' chases this season, fourth behind King Alexander at Gowran was his best effort; tailed off in the Leinster National at Naas last time when 3m1f on soft to heavy may have been too far; 13lb to find on ratings with Sandor Clegane, but that rival is not the most solid.

J: Josh Williamson

T: Gordon Elliott

Useful 128-rated hurdler last season, including a Grade 3 win; well beaten over various trips at this venue in opening three beginners' chase outings in good company; shaped more promisingly in first-time blinkers at Gowran last time before fading tamely after making jumping errors; makes handicap chase debut now and 6lb wrong; needs to jump better.

J: Sam Ewing

T: Gordon Elliott

Decent 128-rated novice hurdler last season, winning 2m2f Naas maiden and 3m Grade 3 Clonmel novice (soft); two chase runs at this venue; looks significantly inferior to stablemate Wingmen.
