9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Steadily progressive 6yo who won twice in the spring (2m4f, good to yielding/good) and was a respectable sixth of 20 at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; also effective on soft; last time was his first run since July and he may be able to build on it. |

17th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |

The winner of two 2m4f handicaps in Ireland this year and late mistakes did him no favours when beaten 14l over 2m7f the final time; needs to resume improvement to defy this sort of mark. |

Versatile mare who alternates between hurdles and fences, most recently recording fifth career win (and career-best) when making all from out of handicap over 2m4f in Kilbeggan chase; in the form of her life and back hurdling here off a 16lb lower mark than fences. |

Landed a novice chase over C&D (soft) in October and ran a big race when runner-up to The Folkes Tiara at Leopardstown in December (2m1f); no impact on return over hurdles 23 days ago but should come on plenty for that outing; each-way claims. |

Two time hurdle winner at Downpatrick is 0-6 over fences; fine effort in a beginners' chase at Tipperary early last month (third has won since off 101); well behind Sargent Lightfoot at Punchestown on penultimate start; makes his handicap chase debut off 105 and has to be considered after his last run; tongue tie and cheekpieces retained. |

Pretty useful Flat/hurdles winner for Joseph O'Brien; no impact in his eight Flat races for new yard despite a large fall in the weights; back hurdling for first time since last May and needs to be pretty much at his best, which seems rather unlikely but a market check is advised. |
