10st 4lb |
Top-class chaser weakend out of contention in the Galway Hurdle; ran in a Curragh 1m4f maiden (without usual cheekpieces) as a prep for that, and a perfectly respectable effort saw him run to a mark of somewhere in the mid-70s, using the runner-up as a guide. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time Grade 1-winning chaser who has counted Gaelic Warrior and Marine Nationale among his victims in top-level races; winner of two of his six races over hurdles, one in France at four, the other a three-runner Sligo contest two years ago; warmed up for this with a run on the Flat at the Curragh 11 days ago. |

10st 5lb |
Three-time Grade 1-winning chaser makes his Flat debut here at the age of eight; his dam is an unraced half-sister to a German 1m Listed winner; it's hard to know what to expect from him, but he's an intriguing runner and hails from a savvy yard in great form. |

Won at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) last March and is well very handicapped on that form, but this 11yo has been badly out of form this season. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Veteran ran a fine race over fences at Ballinrobe (2m4f, yld-sft) in June but didn't back it up at Killarney on latest (2m1f, gd-yld); hasn't won over hurdles since 2021 and would prefer softer ground; new headgear combination tried now. |

Veteran's most recent win came in this race last year off 2lb lower; rediscovered form in the spring in 2m4f veterans' handicaps, finishing fine third at Haydock and good second (having hit last) at Ballinrobe; has to be considered. |

Won a chase at Limerick last year but his form, and jumping, disimproved as the year went on; long time since he's shown any worthwhile hurdles form and off eight months. |

22nd Oct 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner is lightly raced for his age; off the mark over fences here in March; held when completing in handicaps and that looked likely to be the case again when falling three out at Killarney, but handles heavy and you'd be slow to rule him out. |

27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
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. |

18th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 42y |
11st 7lb |
Lots of sound runs in defeat over fences since winning at Down Royal last year; doesn't seem to be improving but has his chance in an open race. |
