Nine wins in all spheres with the last of those coming in a Thurles handicap chase last December; poor the last twice over hurdles including behind Happy Jacky at Cork; has to rebound |

Yet to score on the Flat, best effort when runner-up in last season's November Handicap; two wins over hurdles this year and most recently finished a decent sixth in a very valuable Punchestown festival handicap hurdle; champion jockey booked and likely to have a leading chance; handles all ground. |

11st 11lb |
Flat winner in Britain; opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt, landing a C&D maiden in November; down the field in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse last month; more relevant form in this context is his fourth placing in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; also managed a fine third on the Flat in the Naas November Handicap; makes plenty of appeal in this grade. |

One of two for trainer; dual-hurdles winner got his second Flat win at Galway in July when an easy winner of an amateur contest (2m1f, yielding); struggled off 10lb higher in the Irish Cesarewitch last time and drops 2lb now. |

Plundered a nice pot at Galway (2m1f, yielding) when last seen in July; got hit with a 10lb hike for that so this 9yo will need to produce a career best to follow up but that's not impossible given who trains him; respected. |

Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |

Dual-purpose sort is 3-25 on the level; last scored off 4lb lower in the Ulster Cesarewitch (2m2f, good) in 2023; good run at Fairyhouse on penultimate over 1m4f but didn't back it up at Killarney on latest; may need more respite from the handicapper. |

Dual-purpose; 3-24 on the Flat, the last win coming in the 2023 Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (2m2f, good) off 5lb lower; stayed on well over 1m4f at the Curragh on latest, his second run after a long layoff; this trip more suitable and he's a player. |

Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |

Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |

Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |
