11st 10lb |
Won a heavy ground maiden hurdle at Limerick last Christmas; runner-up in a juvenile handicap here in January; mid-division but not disgraced in the Boodles at Cheltenham; tame effort on final start before a break but worth considering given the stable's form. |

1-15 on Flat with the win coming at Roscommon in 2024 (1m4f, soft) off 64; decent efforts over hurdles this year and shaped with promise back on Flat at Gowran last time when fifth (1m6f, good to yielding); will appreciate any rain. |

Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground. |

Flat winner; placed in three maiden hurdles early in his career; modest form overall in handicaps; Punchestown run in January was encouraging, not beaten far in fifth in a 16-runner event; fair third over 2m at Gowran last time, worth considering. |

Has mixed it between Flat and hurdles effectively this year, winning on the level at Sligo and only worn down close home in 2m Galway handicap hurdle on Saturday; obvious chance if turning out quickly. |

Good novice hurdler who went down narrowly in the Boodles at Cheltenham in 2023; subsequent form was disappointing however, last seen when well held on the Flat in the Spring; good bit to find on ratings here. |

Dual-purpose maiden was third at Killarney over 1m3f on heavy before a respectable hurdle run at Cork; the blinkers worn then are replaced by cheekpieces today; has been disappointing overall but should have a big chance if showing his form on this surface. |

Not far behind Zarak The Brave in a juvenile maiden hurdle last season; failed to improve on that; returned from a year off to win at Thurles on first start for this stable; pulled a shoe and finished lame when favourite at Cork five weeks ago; every chance if fully recovered; trainer also runs Tranquil Sea. |

All three hurdle wins have come at this venue at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; best run this year when just failing to get up over C&D last month (good); found the competition too hot at Galway; now blinkered for the first time after a tame effort here 13 days ago. |

All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track. |

Three decent runs since winning over C&D (gd-yld) in April off 8lb lower, two over hurdles and when second on the Flat at Limerick; ground may have been a bit lively back over hurdles at Ballinrobe latest; return to this C&D a plus, as is the forecast rain; chance. |

Took a long time to win a race over hurdles but has been in fine form in recent months; deserved her breakthrough win at Kilbeggan; suffered interference when chasing home an easy winner at Limerick; transferred her form to the Flat when second at 25-1 in a 1m4f contest at the same venue; good chance off a light weight. |

Sole Flat win in Roscommon maiden (1m4f, soft) in May 2024; 1-19 over hurdles, that win gained when making all to score decisively at Kilbeggan in April; second in course handicap hurdle on latest but tough mark back on Flat. |
