Latest win at Bellewstown in July 2023 when landing lucrative handicap hurdle; barely beaten a rival in five starts since and continues to slide in the weights; not an obvious contender and needs revival. |

Ex-Gordon Elliott, third in this race last year from out the back off 2lb higher; won over hurdles in May on debut for Olly Murphy and not disgraced here next time, before a poor show over hurdles 25 days ago; not impossible if that latest run can be forgiven. |

Fairly lightly raced, including some good efforts over fences, since landing big pot at Galway in 2023; back over hurdles this year and seems to have retained his ability; ran well in a strong Bellewstown handicap two starts back; 2m6f seemed too far for him at Galway festival, but it was by no means a bad run. |

Won a valuable 2m handicap here in 2023 and won over fences after; solid runs at Wexford and Bellewstown lately, with the latter run looking better after the win of Putapoundinthejar in the Galway Hurdle; can run a sound race if staying. |

Placed more often than winning over hurdles; did record his fourth win on the Flat at Tramore last month before finishing close up in a charity race at the Curragh on Sunday; pace will be on here which will help him being delivered late and certainly respected. |

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards. |
