20th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 118y |
11st 6lb |
Three wins at up to 2m6f but not for a while; Tipperary comeback run last month very promising but didn't back that up at Killarney; possibly vulnerable to stronger stayers here and ideally wants it softer. |

Made an error at the last when beaten roughly 2l behind Queenofthelodge at Tipperary a fortnight ago; 3lb rise is fine and entitled to come on for that first run in six months; two of his wins have come on heavy so warrants respect. |

Five-time winner under Rules, with both his chase wins coming at this track on good ground in a 2m2f beginners' and in this race last year; just 2lb higher since his win last year but beaten fairly comprehensively in three summer starts and pulled up around here last month (2m5f, yielding); comes into the race in lesser form than last year. |

13yo veteran has won seven times over hurdles; mixing chasing and hurdling lately but hasn't looked like adding to his haul; however, he has won here before over shorter and he is 5lb below his last winning mark; not totally discounted but a revival is needed. |
