11st 3lb |
Three-time hurdles winner in 2023, showing a liking for a test of stamina in testing conditions; now 3kb below his last winning mark; Bbest run for Sam Curling last season was over fences; may find the ground too lively; first outing for this stable. |

Three-time hurdles winner in 2023; has slipped 2lb below last winning mark and shaping though his turn might be near on recent starts at Limerick and Cork; rain would enhance his chance (all wins on soft and heavy). |

Won three times in 2023 on soft and heavy ground but has come up short since; better effort on latest when a 3.5l third of 16 in a handicap chase at Limerick (2m7f, heavy); 2lb below last win but probably needs rain. |

Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |

Five wins under Rules, with four coming at this venue; has won the last two renewals of this race, on good and gd-yld, but handles softer conditions; below best when last seen in December but goes well fresh and return to his favourite track could spark a revival; dangerous to dismiss. |

Goes well fresh and again shaped nicely on reappearance over hurdles at Kilbeggan; 6lb higher mark as a chaser and overall record is not the strongest (1-10), although has a nice pull with King Ferdinand for a 9.75l defeat last October, so far from ignored. |
