3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Willie Mullins, best known for winning the 2021 Galway Plate; also beat Hardline in a 2m4f Grade 2 event at Gowran later that year; won a valuable handicap chase at this meeting two years ago, second in the same race last season; tailed off at Portrush in March on first start for Caroline McCaldin, may have needed that, and perhaps premature to write off. |

Lightly-raced veteran and has come back quite well from a long period on the sidelines; good second in a staying handicap hurdle at Punchestown in February and again in a 3m conditions hurdle at Cork last month; goes on any ground and should give a good account. |

11st 7lb |
Enhanced his good record here when inheriting first place over 3m5f in May (same mark) and the drop back to 2m5f found him out when fourth to Charlie Uberalles two months ago; this race is a better fit; third 12 months ago on heavy ground. |

Three-time course winner, most recently when awarded 3m5f veterans' chase here (good to soft; second past the post) last month; versatile regarding ground but would appeal more over further than 2m5f. |

Formerly a useful hurdler/chase for Willie Mullins; bought for £20,000 in May 2023; pulled up both starts pointing this year; plenty to prove on stable debut following wind surgery. |

14th May 2023 Good To Yielding 3m 2f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Has seemingly been out of form over fences this season, only completing three out of his six starts; latest effort at Punchestown when finishing fifth, beaten 13l; step up in trip will suit and his jumping needs to hold up if he is to be in the mix. |

Regressive and inconsistent 11yo; belied triple-digit odds when runner-up in gruelling race at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) in December, his second start for Tim Reed, but the rest of last season's form was disappointing; now back with Tim Reed after two runs for Tristan Davidson; not an easy one to predict. |
