Third reserve; dual-purpose sort who has two wins on the level, his last win coming in a Galway festival premier handicap in 2023 off 82 (1m4f, good to yielding); not far behind at the Curragh in June (16.5f, good) but well beaten over hurdles the last two times and 3lb wrong. |

Is in the form of his career this year for a new yard; won a Roscommon Listed race on seasonal debut and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; his new rating of 112 looks debatable but a repeat of his best will make him difficult to beat. |

Absent four years before looking as good as ever for new yard this term, best of that form when coming from off the pace, and he tried to come from way back when eighth at 50-1 in the Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f, soft) three weeks ago; not totally ruled out despite currently looking on a tough mark. |

Won a premier handicap over 1m4f here at the 2022 festival, fair fifth of 17 in the same race last season; fit from a hurdling campaign in which he has been placed in three consecutive maidens; half-brother to the stable's 2016 winner Swamp Fox; brother to smart jumper Knappers Hill; potentially interesting if he gets the trip. |

Came good for Olly Murphy with two wins (both on good to soft) towards end of last season; finished last on last month's reappearance outing, having dropped out tamely in the straight, but might have needed that run and further progress remains possible if he copes with the ground here. |

Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

Two time winner over hurdles; last win came at Fairyhouse last October for James Barrett off 109 (2m, good); a pair of okay runs over hurdles this summer but needs to bounce back from a poor run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month; contender if she does so. |
