The last of three hurdle wins came in 2023; some good runs over fences in the last two seasons without winning; needs best hurdles form, but is off a low mark. |

Bumper and three-time hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but was just denied by Conyers Hill at Down Royal in January; runner-up in a Tipperary handicap in May but his jumping was sluggish and he will have to be sharper on return; tongue-tie added. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 125); close fourth in competitive Leopardstown handicap chase in December; backed that up with neck second at Down Royal despite untidy jumping; something amiss when pulled up at Gowran; could bounce back. |

Placed more often than winning over hurdles; did record his fourth win on the Flat at Tramore last month before finishing close up in a charity race at the Curragh on Sunday; pace will be on here which will help him being delivered late and certainly respected. |

Dual Purpose; 3-8 on the Flat; ran a solid race over this trip at Chester in May 2023; hurdling since that run until return to this sphere in the Cork Derby and he wasn't disgraced on ground plenty quick for him; this race is easier, a bit of cut in the ground will suit and he's been dropped 5lb; a big run could be on the cards. |

Had smart form when with Gordon Elliott before losing his way and selling for £3,000; fell midrace on stable debut but, with the cheekpieces back on, he outran odds of 100-1 to finish a fairly close third at Haydock (3m4f, good); if as good again here then he could have some say. |

Mostly campaigned in competitive staying chases when with Gordon Elliott and did not accomplish much this season; £3,000 buy in February but fell mid-race here 11 days ago on debut for new yard; cheekpieces (tried once) return; major questions to answer. |

Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed. |

Novice win came at Down Royal last season and pick of this season's handicap form when fourth in 2m4f Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and held narrow lead when faller two out in 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick over Christmas; didn't stay 3m1f in Thyestes following month and has had time off since; could go well. |

Two good runs at Cheltenham this season, including fourth in the Paddy Power in November, and a creditable second at Limerick on his seasonal debut the previous month; in the lead but beginning to look vulnerable when falling two out in the Tim Duggan at Limerick on latest. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual Flat winner and was a smart juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning twice and competitive at the top level; handicapped accordingly and left Joseph O'Brien under a bit of a cloud, albeit when highly tried; if as good as he was and not held back by his fitness after 233 days away, he'd go close; unraced over this far as a hurdler but stayed well on the Flat. |

Grade 1 placed as a juvenile hurdler in April 2023 and won a 1m6f Flat handicap at the Curragh that June; while his hurdles performances in December and this April were satisfactory, he appears to be much more interesting today away from soft ground (ran on good to firm just once, creditably) and with this new stamina test, which could be just his cup of tea. |
