11st 7lb |
Best run last season came on his seasonal reappearance in a Navan handicap chase (3m, yielding); three non-completions over fences since and now looks to exploit 11lb lower hurdles mark on return in first-time cheekpieces; not discounted. |

10st 6lb |
1-31 under rules, with sole win coming in a Gowran handicap chase in 2023; posted a decent effort over timber last time when staying on for a 3l fourth (3m, soft to heavy); up 1lb and overall record is off-putting. |

On a long losing run and his fourth here when last seen in April was a remote one; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; his record when fresh suggests he'll need this run. |

Looked set to win a chase at Cork last time, only to unseat at the last; a possible contender, though his overall 3-43 record makes it hard to be confident; beaten around 7l in fourth at this venue last October on his most recent hurdles start |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice over hurdles at up to 3m when trained in Ireland; well beaten in all three starts this autumn (2m-2m5f); on a handy mark and back over a more suitable trip, he'd be of interest if there is support for him. |

Dual hurdle winner in Ireland in early 2022 (3m/2m7f) but hasn't shown much in three runs for Samuel Drinkwater this year (2m4f-2m7f); drops back in trip with a lot to prove. |

0-16 over fences; went close off much reduced mark at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February and has claims here if judged on that form but didn't fire at Hexham last month. |

18-race maiden; sound efforts in cheekpieces last twice, finishing third at Catterick (1m7f, good) and runner-up at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); interesting. |
