Very useful form for Henry de Bromhead earlier in his career, three chase wins and third in the Kim Muir in 2024; modest points form lately. |

10st 2lb |
Progressive last year, making all at Tramore (2m5f, soft) in August and Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) in October; returned to Cheltenham last month for the Kim Muir (3m2f, soft) and made most, finishing third of 22 but he was 18l behind the runner-up Git Maker, so needs to step up on that and it's the furthest he's been. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who readily drew clear to win in lower-grade company here (2m5f, good) in June, his fifth start for Gary Hanmer; also ran well at Cartmel last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; mixed record under both codes for current yard but he returned to form with a stylish win over fences at Stratford (2m5f, good) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he still looks feasibly treated. |

11st 1lb |
Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022 but she went close over hurdles here (2m6f, good; Tupelo Mississippi fourth) on recent stable debut; that was a big run after 288 days off and she's respected back over fences; tongue-tie removed. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022; none too consistent last year but the best of those efforts were not far off her peak, including at Navan in September when last seen; has joined a yard (runs four) that's well known for its successes at this track. |

11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore over 2m before a good third of 12 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding); her last win in this discipline came last year off 105 at Navan (2m, heavy). |

Narrowly got the better of a frustrating maiden at Perth (3m, good; from 5lb lower) last August; kept on into never-nearer fourth over fences at Sligo (3m2f) in October but absent since; best watched unless market speaks favourably. |

Posted two fine efforts since returning from a lenghty absence but a fair way off that level when put firmly in his place on his most recent visit to Ballinrobe, albeit in a hot affair; first-time cheekpeices now added and if he puts his best foot forward, the pick of his form suggests he should be a tricky customer. |

Locally trained three-time course winner including over C&D; that C&D win came for this jockey in April 2023 off 97; good run off current mark when fourth over 21.5f here back in April; best run since came at Wexford last time out when beaten 7.5l in first-time blinkers; they are retained and he has to be considered. |

Over three years since he won a hurdle and chase for Gigginstown and Henry de Bromhead; placed in both disciplines in June so there's still a bit of life in him and new headgear tried; likes decent ground. |

Had been struggling but major step back in the right direction when making the frame at Tramore a fortnight ago; switch to fences is fine and he's well treated on old form. |
