22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 13lb |
Last year's winner has dropped to 4lb below that winning mark following some poor runs in the interim; but has also run with credit, including when keeping on for a 4.25l fourth at Galway on his penultimate run; not ruled out back to the scene of his victory. |

Five-time winner; shaped quite well at the Curragh three runs back (1m2f); badly hampered at the same venue in race won by Fleetfoot; stayed on from off the pace in Galway event in which Fleetfoot was fourth; may get closer. |

Came good last summer with wins in a Limerick maiden and Galway handicap (both at 1m on goodish ground in blinkers); only 2lb higher than for that last win and being gelded could bring him on some more. |

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |

Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |

Flat winner was successful over hurdles at Limerick in December 2024 off 7lb higher; moderate recent form until a change of tactics almost saw him make all at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) when headed late home in this headgear combination; could go one better if adopting the same tactics. |
