Quality sort reached his peak when winning a Navan Grade 2 hurdle over 2m6f in February; however, jumped badly right and was poor in the Pertemps Final last time; posted two decent chase runs in 2024 and should be difficult to beat if jumping soundly. |

12st 0lb |
Never got seriously involved when ninth in the 2m5f handicap at last year's Festival; 2m6f-3m has proved just the ticket this winter with three wins (including the Punchestown qualifier) and a second, with last two outings in Grade 2; they were all in the mud but good to soft was fine earlier in career; tough customer and Gordon Elliott won this three times in a row not so long ago, twice with Sire Du Berlais among the topweights. |

Suited by testing conditions; won Pertemps Qualifier over this trip at Punchestown before readily taking less competitive 2m6f Clonmel conditions event; better again in 3m Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran when clear second to a 159-rated rival. |

Gained compensation for two narrow defeats when landing Thurles maiden hurdle in November (2m7f, good) against her own sex; that form has worked out well; below best in novice there when last seen but strikes as the type who will flourish over fences now. |

One of two runners for these connections; best run when winning a valuable 2m1f Leopardstown handicap chase in 2025; hasn't been as good since, with best runs coming back at that track; questions after pulled-up over C&D last time. |

Both chase wins have been here in 2m1f handicaps, notably a year ago in valuable Listed contest off 122 (yielding); yet to hit form this season however, mildly encouraging when attempting repeat win last month; bit to prove at the moment but step up in trip here could see improvement. |

Point winner who was struggling over hurdles when returning from a long absence but has fared much better in two starts in handicap chases, beaten 10l into fourth over 3m2f at Down Royal 55 days ago; drop in trip sure to suit and chance. |

1-15 on Flat with the win coming at Roscommon in 2024 (1m4f, soft) off 64; decent efforts over hurdles this year and shaped with promise back on Flat at Gowran last time when fifth (1m6f, good to yielding); will appreciate any rain. |

Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground. |

Flat winner; placed in three maiden hurdles early in his career; modest form overall in handicaps; Punchestown run in January was encouraging, not beaten far in fifth in a 16-runner event; fair third over 2m at Gowran last time, worth considering. |

Won for Mick Channon at three and landed a Ballinrobe handicap during a spell of good form in 2022; often placed, though only twice since joining this stable two years ago; pleasing run when third at Sligo on seasonal debut; front-runner could go well if restored to form after a Tipperary failure. |
