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. |

Flat winner when trained by the Johnstons in UK; has run well in defeat over hurdles for this yard, notably in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; fine 3rd in the Naas November Handicap since; should go close back to hurdles. |

Flat winner is a maiden over hurdles; has shown enough ability to win a race like this but has been regressive on his last few starts and was beaten 17l in a Cork maiden three days ago. |

Poor on the Flat and over hurdles lately but has a chance if getting back to his best form, notably a second in a novice hurdle on testing ground here in January; handles good ground. |

Winner over hurdles and debuted over fences at Roscommon last month when well behind Presenting Lad; likely to do better back over flights and not one to dismiss. |

119-rated maiden hurdle winner; mixing hurdling and the Flat this season; below par efforts on the level at Gowran and over timber at Ballinrobe (2m1f good to yielding) last two starts; chasing debut and related to a number of winners over fences; don't discount. |

Three wins over timber, the most recent at Galway in October 2023; two chase wins in 2025 but pulled up in that sphere on latest at Gowran a month ago; 4lb wrong back over hurdles; others preferred. |

Three-time winner over hurdles and came good over fences last August/September, winning twice including a 2m6f handicap at Listowel; only fair form since then, and this trip may prove inadequate. |

Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |

Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |

Fair hurdler won Listowel maiden in September and not beaten far off 113 in Tipperary handicap in April; both of those runs were on yielding to soft so this ground might be quicker than ideal for chase debut. |

Odds-on winner of a 2m Tramore maiden last August on his ninth start over hurdles; subsequently left Martin Brassil; failed to stay when tried over an extended 3m in a handicap at Punchestown on his first start for this stable; this should suit much better. |

Juvenile form was decent; obtained ample experience, if somewhat frustrating; in theory his Cheltenham sixth when last seen should be enough here but far from convinced he'll show his best. |
