One of three for trainer; dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); 2024 County Hurdle winner was well below his best in that race this season back from a break (2m1f, soft); improved display at Cork when 3.25l behind Ndaawi (16.5f, yielding); a good bit to find with Lossiemouth even if running to his rating, which he hasn't done so far this term.

T: W P Mullins

Classy dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); below best after a break in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but should be sharper now and Harry Cobden has won on him before; top rated at 153 and obvious chance.

J: Mr P W Mullins

T: W P Mullins

Won this in 2024 and third last year, albeit off much lower marks; operated a little below his very best on the Flat last year, including in Australia in the autumn, which perhaps raises a few doubts as to whether he'll be able to find the career-best hurdle performance which will be needed to defy such a lofty mark.

J: Shane Foley

T: W P Mullins

Classy dual-purpose gelding; won the Ebor in 2023 and ran a blinder in the Melbourne Cup in November; mixing hurdles and the Flat in 2025; solid runs in this sphere the last twice, over 13.5f at Chester (Group 3) behind Illinois and 1m6f at York (listed) behind Al Qareem (subsequent Group 1 winner El Cordobes 5l behind in third); leading chance.
