11st 6lb |
Among the backmarkers for an awfully long way in the Irish National at Fairyhouse (3m5f, soft) last April but he still got up close home; that couldn't have augured better for today's long distance and he's raised his game further for two wins (2m4f/3m1f) back at Fairyhouse, the latest of which (easily from Vanillier) makes him look well handicapped; still doesn't fly his fences and tends to take them markedly to his left, so jumping is the big worry but he has plenty going for him otherwise. |

11st 12lb |
5-8 over fences and has never finished out of the first two; has won his last three, a Grade 1 Novice at Aintree (2m, good to soft) in April and Grade 2s at Down Royal (19.5f, good to yielding) and Navan (2m, yielding) last month (beat Solness by a neck despite jumping and hanging right); no match for Gaelic Warrior in the Arkle and hard to see him turning that around. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 168y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has raced only on softer than good; ran well (fourth) in the Albert Bartlett over 3m here 12 months ago but failed to show his form when back at similar trip on latest chase start; promising record at 2m4f over fences, winning twice then solid third in Grade 1; however, he's the wrong age according to the stats (no horse older than eight has won this prize). |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 1f 60y |

Has seemingly improved for a fence and a step up in trip to 2m4f this season; ran with credit in the Drinmore here when last seen; has more to give over fences but a return to this sort of trip is the main question mark; not one to put a line through. |

High-class hurdler had been mixing it at the top level over fences this season at shorter trips before third chase win when dropped in grade at Ayr 10 days ago, patiently ridden and seeing the 3m out well when giving away lumps of weight in novice handicap; drying ground should help his cause and not one to rule out. |

12st 0lb |
Top-class hurdler who has shown a good level of form over fences, banging his head against a wall in Grade 1s in his last four appearances; finished fourth in last season's County Hurdle in his last handicap assignment and that was off an 8lb higher mark; may run well, though stamina could be an issue on this belated first run beyond 2m4f. |

17th Nov 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Won a strong 3m handicap hurdle at 2023 Dublin Racing Festival; jumping has caused concern at times, including on handicap debut at Leopardstown (still in contention when falling at the last); much better when a fine second at Punchestown; tame display when favourite for the Galway Plate; disappointing again in Kerry National; frustrating, but not one to rule out. |
