Lost form since back-to-back wins at Limerick and Punchestown (soft) in 2023; change of scenery hasn't sparked a revival and he is hard to fancy on what he has shown recently. |

Useful dual-purpose performer had good form in staying handicaps last year; around 5l off Busselton at Galway and weighted to turn the tables; no show over fences later in the week at Ballybrit; ran well on sole previous outing here. |

12st 4lb |
Formerly useful but just one chase win (in 2022) from 11 attempts and he ended his time with Gordon Elliott on a quiet note; well-held last of four finishers in a point for new yard and his BHA mark likely flatters him. |

Won a Down Royal beginners' chase over this trip a year ago; has mostly run well in defeat since but never got involved at Naas last time; has to find more just 1lb lower. |

Is 0-9 over fences and failed to complete in her last two starts, albeit very much up against it at Listed level last time; doesn't look well treated on any of her chase form to date. |

Useful sort for Willie Mullins but has been well-held when facing mostly stiff tasks for this yard; another one today and best passed over. |

Two hurdle wins for Willie Mullins in 2020, obtaining a mark of 142; well beaten in six completed chase starts for his current stable, all in decent company; in touch when falling four out in a Grade 3 event here in January; should find things easier now in his first handicap. |
