11st 8lb |
Former top-class novice hurdler still going strong at the veteran stage; beat two shorter-priced stablemates in this race last season; brought down at the 21st in the Grand National; smart form when chasing home stablemate Gaelic Warrior in the Oaksey Chase at Sandown; resumed with second to Affordale Fury here in November; form franked in the Savills. |

11yo who ended a long losing run when beating stablemate Classic Getaway by 6l in Grade 2 at Thurles in January (2m5f, good); brought down ten fences out in the Grand National three weeks ago; it's possible he might run into a place but a few of the others have stronger claims. |

Won four of his five races in the first half of last season, a bumper and three races over hurdles; disappointed when thrown in at the deep end for handicap debut in the County Hurdle; fell at fourth-last in the Galway Hurdle; followed that with a moderate run at Killarney in August; got his career back on course with a solid run at Punchestown on Monday. |

Off the mark over fences at fifth attempt when taking decent 2m3f Kilbeggan beginners' event last month, staying on well to assert late on (first two clear); drop back to 2m may not be ideal on such quick ground. |

Hurdle winner has run some solid races in four chase starts, notably in a hot Leopardstown handicap last time in first-time cheekpieces; a repeat of that run will see him closely involved. |

Ran well over hurdles in July but well behind last time at Navan, that after a pull-up over fences; only 4-41 overall and opposable in a race of this nature. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 165y |

Two disappointing runs over fences since placed in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in July; probably vulnerable to younger and less exposed rivals. |

Not at his best since second to the high-class Saint Roi at Galway last season; was promoted to 133 as a result of that display; now 15lb lower, showed signs of a return to form when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month; slightly disappointing at Galway this year but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner. |

Hurdle winner on heavy ground the season before last; 0-6 chasing, fair level of form at 2m without looking progressive; none too fluent on seasonal debut at Down Royal last month; jumping again ragged when stepped up in trip at Fairyhouse, well beaten when falling at the last. |

Dual hurdle winner on good ground, never sighted on return from 544-day absence at Downpatrick in June; reverts to fences here having shown nothing in three attempts in late 2022 so impossible to assess on handicap debut; market likely best guide. |

11st 0lb |
In top form this season; won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle off 108 before following up in a Listed handicap chase there next time (3m6f, yielding to soft); looked in command when leader departed at final flight in Thyestes before being nabbed by Now Is The Hour (3m1f, heavy); holds a chase mark now of 136 so obvious chance off this hurdles rating. |

Runner-up in two handicap chases at around 3m in the spring of 2024; below that level over fences in three chase starts last season; exploited a 14lb lower hurdle mark to win over 3m at Fairyhouse on seasonal debut; made sustained headway from well off the pace to touch off Will Do in the Porterstown at the same venue; 9lb higher, still on a handy weight. |

Dual hurdle winner; signs of getting the hang of fences when fourth on his handicap debut at Navan and duly built on that to score comfortably over 2m5f here on Saturday; up again in trip and now penalised, but he's looking nicely progressive. |

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles last term; hasn't shown a great deal in three runs over fences and would need to match his peak hurdle form to win from this mark; best form is at 2m4f. |
