12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2023; some sound beatings among his current sequence of frame finishes, but he did run the winner to about 7l at Fakenham latest (2m5f, good to soft) with a next-time winner just behind. |

Regressive 8yo who is 0-5 over fences and has been absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) last March; might have been refreshed by a layoff but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

Flat/hurdles winner on soft; yet to show a great deal over fences; flopped when favourite for Clonmel race won by today's rival Druim Samhraidh; possibly unwise to rule out. |

Two wins over hurdles in 2019 but nothing since and his recent Cork fourth (2m1f, yielding) was a pretty remote one; 10lb higher mark in this sphere and others make more appeal. |

Dual hurdle winner has also won twice over fences including a Listed handicap at Killarney in 2024; some good runs in defeat after and is now just 2lb higher than that mark; mostly below form on the Flat and over hurdles this year but not ignored. |
