led, jumped slightly left 2nd, joined 5th, not fluent when pecked on landing 5 out, soon joined, faced challenge but going okay before 3 out, ridden after 2 out, tired jump when not fluent last, ridden out, just did enough |

Dual Grade 2 novice hurdle winner for Pat Doyle last season, runner-up to State Man in Punchestown Grade 1; beaten odds-on favourite on chase/yard debut over 2m4f at Naas in November; faced no meaningful opposition when winning at Fairyhouse; put a blot on his record with a poor round of jumping in Grade 1 Leopardstown event won by stablemate El Fabiolo. |

Won a couple of minor chases last season; has failed to complete in four of his last seven starts, including latest when a faller at the last when a weakening third in Listowel handicap won by Mars Harper; trip/ground concerns too. |

11st 12lb |
Won a couple of minor chases last season; has failed to complete in three of his last six starts but this is clearly easier than the Galway Plate last time for which he was 33-1; might just be vulnerable under his big weight. |

Put up a career best when runner-up in a Listed chase at Ballinrobe in May but blotted his copybook when refusing to race in a Grade 3 last time; new headgear combination now tried and while he's potentially risky, he also looks feasibly treated. |

10st 8lb |
Huge individual who was always going to be better over fences and things began to click last season when he won a small-field Grade 3 at Navan (2m, good to yielding) before later producing a career-best RPR when running well in a Grade 1 at Punchestown; probably needed the race at Cork where he was rusty all round; better can be expected this time. |

Had a good last season, winning twice, including a Grade 3 novice at Navan before running well in a strong Grade 1 at Punchestown when last seen; has a chance if ready on return. |

Suffered three consecutive falls over fences last season but put that behind him when winning a C&D novice in February before taking a Grade 3 at Navan; well below that form at Thurles and has loads to find today. |

Won twice over hurdles last season; made all to beat useful mare Telmesomethinggirl on his chase debut at Thurles; second-string and a 33-1 chance when falling at the ninth in Grade 3 contest at Punchestown last time |

15th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 160y |
11st 0lb |
Did what he needed to in order to win twice over hurdles last season; made all to comfortably beat a subsequent winner on his chase debut at Thurles last month; unlikely to repeat those tactics on this ground; stable's second string but not to be dismissed. |

Second reserve; absent since facing a tough task in Grade 3 event in October, having won a Kilbeggan handicap (2m3f, good) the time before; overall form isn't compelling; faces another stiff assignment. |

Point winner; beat 1-14 favourite Kilcruit in a maiden hurdle at Cork in December 2021, failed to build on that; error-prone but ran respectably in beginners' contests won by some of the top novices last term; tailed off in first handicap in Punchestown race won by Kilcruit; second in a beginners' event at Gowran last month. |
