Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C&D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue. |

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. |

Just 1-18 over hurdles; has been poor on heavy ground lately but this drier surface can help him put in a better showing; blinkers added. |

1st Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 180y |
11st 12lb |
The last of his two wins came in a handicap in 2020; outclassed in a beginners' chase last time and showed that he retains some ability when midfield over hurdles the time before; cheekpieces now tried. |

30th Nov 2023 Yielding 2m 2f 91y |

Gained the most recent of two hurdle wins in a handicap at Kilbeggan in 2020; ran only once the following year and missed all of 2022; retains some ability judged on a couple of Flat starts this year, but set a tough task here on chasing debut. |

Not seen over timber since March 2021 and no wins since 2020; missed all of 2022 and while he's shown he retains some ability on the level in a couple of recent Flat starts, he's probably best watched back over timber for now. |

Reserve; far better known as a smart hurdler, runner-up at this meeting in 2023 and 2024, with latter race the 3m Grade 1; below form over jumps over the last year, however, and he looks poorly handicapped (particularly from 4lb wrong) judged on his results over fences. |

Third in the 2m4f Martin Pipe at this meeting in 2023; creditable fifth in last year's Grade 1 Stayers' here but he's not really sparked since, including over fences; 6lb lower now than his peak British mark; equipped with cheekpieces on latest outing (stiff task) and today. |

Interfered with early when tailed off on the Flat last time; didn't run too badly in the Galway Plate the time before when mistakes didn't help, but this smart hurdler has yet to reach the same heights over fences; respected but others appeal more. |

Dual-purpose course winner; 9.25l behind Ad Caelum and Dartan at Kilbeggan latest, weakening after being hampered at the last; is 8lb above his last win but his yard is in form and he could go well dropped slightly back in trip. |

Returned from a lengthy break to make stable debut at Downpatrick 9 days ago when fifth of 11 (2m2f, good) after leading at two out; entitled to improve from that but majority of hurdles form is not great; needs to improve on chasing debut; trainer also runs Figurehead. |
