10st 13lb |
Chase wins have been at Wexford and Sligo on decent ground, latter occasion when beating Jesse Evans 3.5l at levels in October when last seen, albeit steady pace possibly suited; has run well fresh and has his ground here, so one to consider. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; has caught the eye in some valuable handicap chases but consistency is not his strong suit and he has unseated, pulled up and been beaten 28l on his last three starts; capable of running well but comes with risks attached. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Won on chase debut in a Wexford beginners' in 2023 (2m4f, yielding); best run in recent times was a 4.5l second at the Punchestown festival off his current mark (2m4f, yielding); he has been poor in three runs following that and Kennedy prefers Mars Harper. |

10st 12lb |
Three Flat wins this year, the latest over 1m5f at Ballinrobe in July; jumping was untidy at times on return to chasing at Galway; down the field in the Cheltenham Festival novice handicap in which Anyway finished second; plenty to prove. |

Dual-purpose performer is 8-28 in all codes, two of his wins coming over fences in novice chases; has been plying his trade on the Flat recently with good success, including two wins; fell at Leopardstown and tailed off at Cheltenham in his last two chase starts so he has something to prove now returned to this discipline. |

Seven wins under all rules with last one coming in a Killarney conditions race in May; even better form when beaten only 4l in the Ascot Stakes h'cap last time; this trip is fine too and is a big player. |

Won twice over hurdles (soft/heavy) when trained by Henry de Bromhead some years back but hasn't won for over three years; beaten out of sight over fences at Punchestown in June and return to hurdling needs to spark a revival. |

First reserve; veteran is a four-time winner; consistent efforts over hurdles at Limerick and Tramore; 3m1f at Cork last time likely stretched him and this trip may do so again. |

Veteran is a four-time winner; last win came here over 2m (yld-sft) in November;has mixed hurdling and chasing to no avail since and never won beyond 2m4f; others preferred. |

Veteran won in fine style over hurdles at Cork (2m, yld-sft) in November; however, he has a strike rate of 1-30 in chases and his last three runs in this sphere have not been encouraging. |

Winner over fences and off the mark hurdling at 15th attempt with resounding success over this trip in Fairyhouse handicap 12 days ago, produced from off the pace full of running to go clear from the last in beating two main market fancies; 10lb rise looks plenty fair on that evidence and could take the beating again. |

Both hurdle wins in Ireland during 2019; thereabouts in handicaps at 2m and 2m4f for this yard in the second half of 2023 and was still travelling well enough when falling three out at Hereford (2m3f, good) this May; unproven beyond 2m4f but has the ability to figure; one of two runners for the stable. |
