11st 9lb |
Had failed to complete three times in a row before a much-improved display when fourth at Navan last month; any confidence regained then may have been dented by a first-fence fall at Leopardstown. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 10lb |
Four-time chase winner but has been regressive over hurdles and fences since last year so not easy to fancy. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
10st 5lb |
Veteran is a four-time chase winner (including over C&D) but hasn't won since 2024 and badly out of form when last seen at Killarney in October; entitled to need this and best watched. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran has won five times (four over fences) but he has failed to fire in a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase since returning from a 320 day break; remains 8lb above sole hurdles win; others appeal more. |

Won this race in 2023 but that is his sole win from 21 starts over fences; poor in both runs this summer and has to return to best. |

1-20 over fences, the win coming off 80 at Killarney just under two years ago; remains 4lb above his last win and didn't show enough on return from a break on latest to make him of interest here. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 9lb |
Ended a barren spell when pouncing late at Perth in 2025 over hurdles (3m, good); best run of the season came in the same race last time when a 1.75l third of 11; 1-27 in chases, but this is just his second attempt in this low grade. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Pounced late, ending barren spell, in this last year (neck winner off 102); didn't relish the Banks course at Punchestown in May, and nothing spectacular since over hurdles (2m1f-2m2f); returning to 3m is a positive, but he couldn't rate as the confident pick. |

Three-time winner; veteran last scored over 3m at Perth last August; signs of life on latest at Wexford but this trip may be a touch sharp. |

23rd Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Tailed off and two falls in his first three runs over fences; back hurdling for his last six starts, winning at Cork (3m1f, yielding) in the penultimate one off just 1lb lower; clearly on a decent mark if he could click in this discipline. |

Fences became problematic but resumed reliability hurdling and not winning out of turn at Cork (Kingston Kid second); 6lb rise grand, though he might not want summer ground. |
