Her wins have been on drier ground and opposable on that alone; recent efforts not her best, either. |

Four wins have been on decent ground; best recent efforts in Wexford handicaps, second over 2m4f there on penultimate start; made a couple of mistakes when down the field at Kilbeggan last time; further rain could detract from her prospects. |

Four wins have been on decent ground; best recent efforts in Wexford handicaps, latest when second over 2m4f; recent withdrawal due to soft ground at Tramore, ground more in her favour here. |

11st 7lb |
Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode. |

Exposed four-time winner over hurdles but now 2lb below the mark he defied here last summer; could be sharper for his recent run after a break and Sean Bowen replaces a 10lb claimer. |

Four-time winner over hurdles but exposed and was performing no more than okay when last seen in November; however, he could be all the better for a break and he's on his last winning mark. |

Better chaser than hurdler, winning at Downpatrick and Limerick last year; okay runs initially this year but well held over 3m2f last twice; back in trip here with a bit to find. |

7th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 146y |

Getting into the veteran stage and he's a better chaser; this trip is a minimum for him but little of note over hurdles for quite some time; change of headgear. |

Just 2-17 over fences; fair fourth behind today's rival Brideswell Lad at Leopardstown in March after a break; failed to improve on that when taking the same place over 3m2f at Down Royal four weeks ago. |

0-16 over hurdles but it was a step back in the right direction when fourth of 12 (beaten 6l) at Downpatrick a fortnight ago; previous career best had come at this trip and he handles decent ground; each-way player. |

0-31 over hurdles and 0-51 overall; has shown some bits and bobs of form this season and is suited by this C&D but still makes only limited appeal from 5lb out of the weights. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

Produced a couple of reasonable performances in the final third of last year but without threatening, and this 9yo is a longstanding maiden. |
