28th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 55y |
11st 13lb |
Flat winner two seasons ago; remote second in a big-field handicap at Punchestown in June showed that he had some potential over jumps; followed that with two lesser efforts, including on the Flat; took to chasing well when beating Lesssaidthebetter on debut for this yard at Tramore; may follow up now. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Winning pointer but a longstanding maiden under rules (0-24 hurdles, 0-9 chasing); overall profile strikes a note of caution but a breakthrough is not out of the question; the outcome could hinge on his ability to reverse Tramore form with Brehon Star who beat him quite handily there; 6lb better off and blinkered for the first time. |

10st 6lb |
Veteran; five-time chase winner including three over C&D; last won here last August off 99 and 3lb lower now; recent efforts have been underwhelming, however, and blinkers are reached for. |

9st 4lb |
Old boy has won 12 races in all under both codes, mostly from the front; C&D winner in 2024 and was placed over 1m4f last year, but he's pushing on now and tailed off over fences last time. |

Veteran pulled up on first start for this yard at Clonmel in December but has a fine record here (four wins, three over fences) and is just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last August; ground versatile and can't discount. |

Without a win since June 2022; no sign of losing run ending in recent starts; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

Dual hurdler winner and better known in that sphere these days; while he's shown a bit of ability on the level down the years, that's been over much longer trips than this. |

Some encouraging signs on one two occasions over fences but overall record is patchy and add in the lack of a recent run, and he has his work cut out; vulnerable. |

20-race maiden; had shaped with promise over fences prior to struggling at Clonmel last week when possibly unsuited by the very testing ground; handicap mark looks workable if he can get back on track. |

3-34 over fences, with two of those successes coming at this track, including when 33-1 chance in this race in 2023; creditable third in a 2m7f handicap chase here on New Year's Day; flopped when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |
