Six chase wins including this race in 2023; has been regressive this year and was poor at Galway last time; coming back here may help, though. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-29 over hurdles; rated 13lb lower over timber but recent form in both codes has been disappointing and a major revival is needed. |

Better chaser than hurdler, although hasn't won since taking 2m4f Cork handicap hurdle in November 2023; safely held over hurdles of late, of limited appeal back chasing. |

Good chase record around here; five wins in career; last win was in November 2023 off 3lb lower; fourth in competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle in November; this is easier; chance. |

Better chaser than hurdler, rated 20lb lower in this sphere and just 1-18; might need this run with a view to going back over fences. |

Tramore beginners' chase winner in December has been kept to hurdles since, running well on a couple of occasions, 3m looking too far last time; scope for improvement in first handicap chase with trip/ground to suit and capable claimer booked. |

69 rated chaser has won here before over hurdles but he is 0-24 over fences; pulled up the last twice and it is hard to see him getting off the mark in this company; blinkers go back on. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 110y |

Extended his losing sequence over fences to 23 when pulling up at Downpatrick but he did go close the time before at Tramore (2m6f), so can't be ruled out with any confidence. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 150y |

Went close at Tramore last time but his chase record of 0-22 isn't encouraging and he's 2lb wrong for this. |

Hit form earlier this summer, winning over hurdles here before taking a chase at Tipperary over this trip; not a bad run off a higher mark over hurdles at Cork and should run well again but could be vulnerable. |

Got off the mark over hurdles on return when beating a subsequent winner at Wexford; makes her second chase start off a 7lb lower mark in this sphere and has to be taken seriously. |

Not the most dependable sort but two wins include over C&D back in 2022; encouraging Tipperary comeback run in May off this mark so could well come on enough to feature. |

10st 9lb |
Relishes testing conditions and took advantage of them twice this season at Limerick when winning a 2m5f Limerick handicap hurdle and a 2m2f handicap chase; up 16lb compared to his win over timber at Punchestown when well beaten and found it similarly difficult off his revised chase mark at Gowran last time (2m4f, heavy); others more likely. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
