9st 9lb |
Point and bumper winner; 2-10 over hurdles; poor strike rate as a chaser, 1-22; has been out of form over jumps; however, he produced a fine effort when third in a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in July on his belated Flat debut; could feature in improving a little from that. |

Dual hurdle winner and was third in this race in 2023 off 6lb higher; regressive over fences last season but a decent Flat run at Killarney last time; could run well. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |
10st 11lb |
Won a valuable 2m handicap here in 2023 and won over fences after; solid runs at Wexford and Bellewstown lately, with the latter run looking better after the win of Putapoundinthejar in the Galway Hurdle; can run a sound race if staying. |

Won a handicap at the Galway festival in 2023 and a Punchestown novice chase in December 2024; ran only twice last season; higher rated as a chaser; bright display when third in a conditions hurdle at Wexford in May; could go well here. |

Won a Punchestown novice chase in December 2024; ran only twice last season; now set for a first hurdles start since jumping badly at Listowel in September 2023; had previously produced a career-best when winning a handicap at the Galway festival; hard to be confident about his prospects. |

11st 5lb |
Useful in 2m-2m6f novice hurdles last term, recording RPRs of 140 on three occasions; has not taken to chasing at all well this season, soundly beaten three times, and was sold from Gordon Elliott for 50,000euros in February; may be revived by a change of scenery and the return to hurdling, but he's something of a risky proposition in his first handicap. |

21st Jan 2023 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 170y |
11st 9lb |
AQPS winner over an extended 1m3f on very soft ground in the French provinces in November 2021; justified favouritism hurdles debut in a Punchestown maiden that has worked out quite well; drops in class now after a tame effort in a Grade 1 Leopardstown event dominated by this three shorter-priced stablemates; may turn the tables on Path D'Oroux. |

Hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, having failed to complete on three of those; still not a fluent jumper although penultimate Fairyhouse effort was a solid one; hard to be confident in. |
