11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner; failed to adapt to chasing in six starts last season, including in novice handicaps on his last three outings; best hurdles form at 2m-2m4f, though ran with credit when fourth in a strong 3m handicap at Aintree last year. |

First reserve; three-time hurdles winner has been beaten a long way in five chase starts this season, including in novice handicaps the last twice; unseated at the fourth at Wexford last time; 10lb lower mark in this sphere and has won on good ground, so there are positives if returning to form. |

Three-time hurdles winner; beaten a long way in three beginners' chases this term, most recently never counted on handicap debut in Naas Listed contest in February; hurdles form on better ground so these improved conditions could see improvement (10lb lower than over hurdles). |

Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up. |

In front when falling four out at Wexford in July on second chase start and a final-fence blunder proved costly when second there in August last time; could do with cutting out the mistakes but the first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard; one of two for last year's winning Irish yard. |

Two hurdle wins for John McConnell at 2m4f; out of form last season; some promise when fourth on his stable/chasing debut at Kilbeggan, 3 1/2l behind today's rival Harsh; made a mistake at the last then; fell in the lead four out over C&D two weeks ago. |

Two-time hurdle winner for John McConnell at 2m4f; out of form last season but his stable/chasing debut at Kilbeggan last time was not devoid of promise when behind some decent rivals and he would have likely finished third but for a mistake at the last; that gives him something to build on. |
